Um...there was a color blind lady (Kerare) down there who scribes, dont know if she is laureled or not. Well and there are always Bob and Gerald. Like I said, there are some but not as many....not none. I dont think Richard B. is active much anymore, nor is Bob? I havent had contact with him since a year or so before I left KC. But neither he nor Gerald were laureled in Calontir. Sorry...please add the corrections to my previous hypothesizing...

In a few recent postings (I forget which) a few people mention their favorite gold and silver gouaches. Two of the ones mentioned and that are in the catalog were Talens Designer Gouache and Pebeo Gouache. I was wondering if anyone out there has used both of these brands and could make a suggestion of which one they think is best? I know there are always different "favorites" but I'm not ready to spend the money to buy both brands right now (along with all the other stuff I want *grin*) So I figured if one brand gets more votes I'll get that one now and get the other later on to make my own decision. Thanks in Advance - -- Lady Mylisant de la Croix Barony of Grey Niche, Meridies Purpure, two natural seahorses addorsed on a point pointed argent a crescent inverted sable and on a chief triangular argent a crescent sable. ------------------------------ End of scribes digest V2 #94 ****************************
