(Unless, of course, this email self-destructs!)<BR/>Seriously, lately there has been some terrific printmaking displayed by both professionals and newcomers. I'll toss this to the wider field on my blog, but feel free to spread the word.dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-15906310230546259952009-02-03T01:37:00.000+00:002009-02-03T01:37:00.000+00:00Yes, it's gorgeous--the colors are lush and harmon...Yes, it's gorgeous--the colors are lush and harmonious and so appealing!
