IT WORKED!!!

Dearest Alex,

It worked!!!

My crazy, heavy-book pressing idea worked. The paint did not transfer to the blank paper, and the page has flattened considerably. It is still not perfectly flat, but I did manage to tape it down again, and I believe I can work with what I have now.

So, on to painting!

With all the guests and responsibilities that have occupied my time at the beginning of this month, I still have not managed to finish my new article, but hopefully I can get to it today, and post it sometime this week on my "Art: Help!" blog.

Did not sleep well last night, so I'm feeling tired. I really have to get to bed between 10 and 11...

Love always,

Mili
