Thanks Rose! Went well... and then summer got really busy. But I'm back - missed you all!

WELCOME BACK BEN!!

Thank you ::)

oh no! Did the weekly WIP update die!??? <sniff>

Hi Ben!! If you have time to follow the new wip's and update the weekly wip then I will be very happy to have some help with it... meanwhile, I figured folks might do their own updates using the new space:)http://groups.bluecanvas.com/WORK-IN-PROGRESS/forum/post/2992

I probably don't have time yet :( Work and school have me buried most of the time, I'm lucky to get canvas time as it is! Though, in the spirit of togetherness, I nominate Fred.

:)

You're welcome - I love the community on here, and you've done some great work.

Hi Dierdra, ditto that! I should have responded to this right away... I get kinda' digital overload when I'm on here on fridays... short-circuit, and voila, totally forgotten. I thought maybe you hot-knifed the foam - of course that's like one of those unicorn tools for me. hear great stories about them, but never see one. Hope you get well soon! And thanks for getting back to me :)

Btw did the foam elephant carving make a giant mess? Do you do a lot of sculpture that way?

Thanks for yours too - your work is very "tight" - beautiful paintings and pastels. And colored pencil :) I fell in love with colored pencil a few years ago, and somehow it's brought me back to oils... funny how these things work.

So, what's the difference between adding images to forum/post/2411 and adding them directly to the group? I'm a little confused on this, as adding to one negates the ability to do the other, or so it seems.. .

Benjamin, no problem. You are welcome to add any of your approrpriate images as qwith any work to the group....and I have made available a personal forum space where you can add notes and commentary as well as shots of yoru work in progress...in fact, you are welcome to use it in any way you use a work space in developing your finished art work. This group is about acknowledging and sharing the process, or the "behind the scenes" on our art.

You might like to get an idea of how others use this space by checking out the latest posts at the so-called EVENING WIP- this is a regular update I put together for the group. It is worthwhile remembering to FOLLOW THE THREAD at least on your own forum, and on the EVENING WIP. Hope that helps:)

This is the link once again to the EVENING WIP: http://groups.bluecanvas.com/WORK-IN-PROGRESS/forum/post/2114

ok RR (can i call u RR? :)) , I think I am just SLOW! No, seriously, I'm missing something, but I think I can clear up my 'duh' moment by just trying it. Off to go get WIPed!

And, thanks for taking the time to invite and educate me on the WIP group - it's a great idea!

Me again. So - in case you have any other newbs to WIP that are like "wait, I can't get art in there, since I have it in another group it disappears!?" -- - the thing i was totally blind to was the selection of art to the right of the text-entry box on my WIP page. So anyhow my WIP is aliiiiiive now. Thanks RR!
