Last week-end a was given a challenge: to create four, 3-dimensional letter S. Added to the letters created by the other members of the collective it would spell the name of our group: Les Impossibles - meaning the impossible ones, in the sense that we are impossibly creative women artists, united by our common passion for creating artist books.
