Sampler No. 12 and Delta are both beautiful, and inspiring! I love reading through the list of materials used! Wish I could touch it!! What a great thing it is to see the fiber-art community being woven together once again for such a deserving cause.

Bonnie - I know! The collage jpegs are coming in already and Collage Mania is truly going to be an artistic venue without compare on May 5 and 6. I feel privileged to be able to promote all the talented artists - of which I know you will be one - AND know we are using fiberart to make a difference. V.
