Rosemarie Jeffers-Palmer commented on Bea Nettles's blog post Friday May 13 is the deadline for student books to be sent to ARTBOUND 2011
"It is porbably a coincident but a little concerning. I registered the name ArtBound here in Australia about 18 months ago. It is the name of our artists books exhibitions due to be held for the second time later this year. Also titled ArtBound 2011.…"

Thanks, Bea! I'm glad to finally get something up here.
I was just thinking of you as I was adding those photos, and realizing that most of them are work from your class! I also just got to use all the little sample, demo & trade books we made then, as I was teaching my partner's daughter and sister to make books. I learned so much in that class!
I love being able to see your work on this site, too -- especially the new work! I'll look forward to keeping up with what you are up to!

I'm very much looking forward to meeting you in June! The Hybrid Book should be very fun (and informative). Take care, and stay warm!

It's great to meet you! I really enjoy your work, especially the NMWA pieces - a favorite spot of mine too. We share an interest in Tarot as well. I look forward to talking with you!

Thanks for the invite, Bea - I shall watch for the details. I expect I shall be able to arrange to get there for your lecture - unless we get another bout of wild weather! May I say how much I like your work? I have come to book art late in my life - but it is nonetheless a joy and pleasure!
