This is amazing! Spanglish is growing a little bit more by the day and we can see a great team is in the making.
I invite you all to see the great work that our new members are producing and share your thoughts with all of us. We have received many letters telling us how we are fulfilling a need that we all know we have, the importance of communicating with others who want to share common interests, ideas and hopes.
These are difficult times, I need not remind anyone of that, and usually the arts and crafts are sometimes considered non-essentials, we beg to differ! To nurture our spirit and our sensibility through the work of our own hands is not only a sure way to fend off any negative thoughts that might be floating around but also turns our feelings into something truly positive that help us in more ways than one.
One of those is surely economical, because no matter how much we love what we do, we need to help balance our budget, pay for materials etc. And that is also the objective of this group. Pulling our strengths together to make ourselves more visible in a crowded world. And, yes, the final and most important thing is that, if we really put our love and care in our work, this love will spread around to others, and that is what it is all about.
Like Charles Dickens once wrote: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way."

We, as artists can choose to bring out the best, the wisdom, the belief and the light. This hope should be beaded and knit, carved and woven in our work to make it even more beautiful!
