I've much enjoyed these last two posts - lovely colours and textures. How good you are to keep up this challenge. I managed mark making every day for a couple of months -then life got in the way. Since then, one or two brief flurries but nothing consistent. Perhaps next year ...?
That's very kind if you to say - i think going public on my blog and Facebook page with the project has kept me going - and it's forced me to work through even when I've felt like giving up that day.
