1. We would  like to  welcome some  new  artists  into iCE!  We  know,  this is

practically unheard of.  But Tetanus  started the petition,  and once Sprite

visited the mayor about it, well, there wasn't much we could do.

1a. Quantum-X joined  ice this  month, and is  already turning  out some really

great art.  Check out his fish in this month's pack!  Despite his insistance

that he is the direct offspring of  Napoleon and Cindy Lauper, he's a pretty

good fella.

1b. Next up, we have our most recent addition, Nokturnal.  He hails from Sweden

and has a ton of potential.  And boy does he ever look good in a red pair of

pumps!

1c. Finally we have MdK971,  who is a professional  graphic artist.  Patrick is

looking for a place to show off his real  creativity, and we think he'll wow

everyone with what he's working on.   Or maybe  he won't at all,  and you'll

all  hate  his art.   I  guess that  could happen,  but I  bet  it's  fairly

improbable.  You see, the art I've seen so far is really awesome. That's why

I go so far as they say that you probably won't be disappointed.   As far as

hating it, I think that's right out.  I'll stick with my earlier gut feeling

on this one.

1f. All three of these new guys are  fantastic artists, and we're proud to have

them in iCE.  Except for Quantum-X.  He smells like soup.

2. In  other news,  we decided  to  release one  of  the finished  quilts  from

tiles.ice.org in the pack this month.   A lot of iCE  members contributed to

it, as well as many  others who aren't  iCE members.  It  turned out  really

well, and even caused Jamie McCarter to exclaim, "Holy circus!  We need more

hostages!".   Thanks to me (slothy) (of  course),  Corpulent Cow, Sq2, Jamie

McCarter,  Root88, Tetanus,  Leonardo, GRRR,  Empyrean,  Darkhalo,  Valacar,

MrScrappy,  Nessahead,  Quantum-X, and  Nokturnal for  contributing  to this

kick-ass image.

3. We'd just like to mention that 7 sporks are better than none at all.

4. Thanks again to root88 for his hard work making the pack this month.  Root88

is so awesome that his head  lice don't  even bite him.   They're  all  just

groupies, trying to get some alone time with him.

Oodles of noodles,
