Honolulu Altered Books Group March 2012

 Aloha,

We had another great meeting of the Honolulu Altered Books Group last week. It was so much fun seeing every body's art work and hearing the funny stories about there success's as well as their challenges.

We also want to thank Deb Z once again for letting us meet at Rubber Stamp Plantation and being so generous with her time and space.

For our Mainland members, we continue to be amazed at the art we receive each month and just wish you could all be here to enjoy the meetings. Pam Yee is still here from Michigan and we just want her to move here.

Let's all send prayers to Fran Yee. We will be thinking about you and hope to see you at the May Meeting.

Being an artist
means, not reckoning and counting,
but ripening like the tree

which does not force its sap
and stands confident
in the storms of spring

without the fear that after them
may come no summer." Rainer Maria Rilke
