Comment: Thank you for the reading log! It gave me some great inspiration. I added some Rita Mae Brown books to my reading list. Right now I'm in the middle of reading Loving Frank. I like it so far, and I think that what you said about it has been dead on so far. I also have a lot of books by Philippa Gregory on my list, and I can't wait to read them!
Response: WOW! I really like this book log swap. It is almost like being in a book club. I am truly enjoying finding out what others got out of a book I have read and finding new authors. Thanks for the rating and comment.

Comment: Thanks so much. What a great idea to recycle "mistakes". Sometimes the most interesting images are those that are not intended. If I just quickly glance at your card it reminds me of a cave painting of a horse:) I'll sometimes just paint a large sheet of paper with random brush strokes and color and then cut them up as bases. Thanks again and take care

Comment: Is that a scan of part of one of your etchings? If not how did you do it so there was no grove to your lines? thank you
Response: No, the ATC is part of the actual etching. The indentations on the zinc plate hold the ink. They usually aren't deep enough to stay in the wet paper as it dries. There is always a mark left in the paper around the outer edge of the plate which has a much larger delta than the marks on the plate. Hope that answers your question.
