so when i was still a member of the summit scribes guild in colorado springs, i bought a tiny little book that taught me how to draw celtic knots. it was a terrific book, especially for someone like me who is afraid of three dimensions. the author's name was mark van stone. guess who was at the sdfc meeting tonight? yes, mark van stone! though it took me a while to connect the two.
anyway, he was very charming, very likable, very knowledgeable. i think most of the women had crushes on him. i've never seen carol so giddy before (she was the one who introduced mark van stone to sdfc). i thought he was cool, but i couldn't get over the fact that he reminded me so much of michael! if mark had been talking about gaming, it would have been michael up there! he even looks like michael! only one odd thing: "the problem with modern art is that it doesn't want to be beautiful. it wants to be anything but beautiful. it wants to make you feel something, it wants challenge you. well, spare us the challenges." and he meant that! hmmmm.
ugh. i have another color workshop to attend tomorrow morning & no pages for it. i think, for the sake of brevity, i might actually temporarily abandon the magic/tech text in favor of "what the wing says," my favorite poem.
