But, of course, it's all artistic expression and one should use all the media we need to express ourselves. I have already started to prepare two new panels for more mixed media:-)Christiane Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550714224805511513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-39371400312606959832012-03-11T13:52:55.030-04:002012-03-11T13:52:55.030-04:00This is great.
