Oh My Sharon! I just got off the phone with Mr. Doak.

I have NO idea what I just ordered LOL!

You are right, he is quite the character. He didn't particularly care for the fact that I use La Carte and Wallis, and is sending me all sorts of pumice and glue and tints and who knows what else??? He told me to use illustration board, or matt board or homosote from the lumber yard??

All I wanted was to try them, but I think I ordered 150 of them. I didn't spend six hours but he did bend my ear for over an hour.

I can't wait to see what I got!
