Runes, and an "artist, non-artist". The next person sharing this project with me is Elbee. She is not a professional artist, but she does some heavy duty scrap-booking, and has definite artistic flair. Elbee is the only one in this group so far that I have met in person, as well. I have known her since we were 14, in fact. So, we have a self-proclaimed (because I don't think it matters that much) non-artist up next. Elbee and I have decided to use an 8" x 10" format, and go a more 'found objects' route with the mandala. I think this project is shaping up to be very diverse...
