Hi Bunki and Stacie -
I think it was my Artsonia site you saw the graffiti names on; and I did get
those lettering styles from the Mr Wiggles site you mentioned, Bunki! I did
the lesson with my jr. high class, and I would say it was definitely one of
their favorites (and they were/are a hard to please lot, let me tell you!)
One interesting thing I've found with this age group is that they complain
about nearly everything you give them ("too hard, too easy, too boring,
etc"), then shock you a month after the class is over by saying how much
they loved the class or some project you thought they hated! They are full
of surprises..
