Thank you for your visit & comments... Soon there will be the opportunity of another Give-a-Way gift!
...the custom cahiers have found a home with lucky Carol Adamec.
Carol is a fabulous "wordsmith" and "painter", multi-gifted and hard working.
You can see her work and words at her blog: ART by CAROL ADAMEC
Carol has been a dear friend of mine for over 20 years! She is the person that has help me express myself through words, there was a time in my life it created panic and terrible fear to write something! To put words to my work - to even talk, I thought I could just stay visual. Having a blog has been a challenge... it has been an incredible learning experience. Even leaving comments at your sites and blogs was hard at first :-) Now you can't keep me still.
Today, I still request Carol's professional help when needed... she is my "ghost writer".

Upon corresponding (via e-mail) with Walter Logeman about featuring him on my blog he requested if I could make him a web-eStamp from one of his pieces, preferably a circle piece. I went and reviewed the 1000 Sketches! to see the circles:
There's a Thousand Sketches Video for easy viewing of the sketches! click here...

Walter Logeman is a "TOTAL" web find all the way from New Zealand!
I came across him through a "Yahoo group" that troubleshoots cutting-edge digital printing issues, with an excellent product called InkAid. I've used it extensively.
He is a certified Psychotherapist.
Psychotherapy comes from the Greek words for "soul" and "attending".
It describes well the work he does: "attending the soul"
He had attended my work by featuring me on his blog,
with my Mud Pie II web-eStamp. Thank you, Walter!
His work intrigued and fascinated me. He had done a "Thousand Sketches!" a self-challenge project he began in the spring of 2006 and completed in the spring of 2007! 1000 sketches done on a "PC Tablet" and then posted them on a blog. He recorded his learning process about art & artists and his visits to galleries in Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.A.
"Grain" • digital watercolor • Walter Logeman © 2008
Walter considers the circle a symbol of fertility and solidity,
as a child he had an obsession of drawing "thousands" of yellow circles.
Could it be trying to create drops of "SUN" light?
Please go and see his work at: www.walterlogeman.com
Also, return here tomorrow and see what I designed for him ...a few custom Web-eStamps!
