October Honolulu Altered Books Group Round Robin

Aloha,

We had another great meeting on Saturday with lots of great

art to share with each other. Even though we are just getting started, we have just one more month to create art before

we go on holiday hiatus and then resume in February 2013.

We are looking forward to see what everybody will come

up with on their next assignments. We would like to thank all of the mainland artist for getting their art to us on time.
