I contacted a local craft magazine, Craftwise, twice and am still waiting for a response. Obviously this type of hobby/craft is not artistic enough for them or they just don't have any manners. So... I tried another magazine and to my delight, they responded immediately indicating that they would be very interested for me to share my hobby with their readership... so 3 months later, an article was published in our local Ideas Magazine, which went on sale today! Turn to page 10.
For my international friends, here is a copy of the cover of the mag and the article which was published. I am hoping it will spark an interest amongst our local people.
It's midweek and almost weekend. Take care, thanks for popping around once again, hugs Sharon
