Just received my bracelet today! :) Thanks and keep those updates coming. I really enjoy following this process.
You do rock! I'm sorry I'm a little late in my support. I can't wait to hear about your travels and your upcoming adventures in Cleveland. Have a safe trip home - you will have Korean food in spades soon. Lots of love.
Interesting! Aimee, have you thought of promoting your project at a store called "On Paper" ( http://www.onpaper.com/index.php) in Columbus, oh? I also could see these techniques being useful to textile artists as well! Best of luck!!!! :)
Aimee, Keep going! You rock!
