Did you wonder who won drawing for the April Collage Challenge?
It was one of my first art friends, Marion Bockelmann. Marion is the second person I ever traded ATCs with, all the way to Germany no less! I still have those ATCs, and others she's sent me over the years. We spent loads of time in the same Yahoo groups back before I had a blog...and that's her art illustrating the Your Art Using My Images folder in the right hand sidebar.
Marion and I once had an (email) conversation about how hard it is to explain to family and friends that there are people you consider some of your finest friends... yet you've never met in person. The friends we make in the art community understand us in ways (that for many of us) few others do.
So I hope Marion enjoys the images she's won, and if you haven't visited her blog, you'll do so today. Her work is consistently beautiful...and she still trades!
