Sculptor John Houser has created a world class enlarging team. In April the enlarging studio in Mexico City was completed and the colossal wire armature was covered with modeling plaster.
Work continues at a rapid pace and the huge armature is taking shape with detailed modeling.
The first XII Travelers Open Studio was successfully held in June with the international press and dignitaries attending. The second event is scheduled for the latter part of this year. The XII Travelers web site is being expanded to include the children's web page and a cultural tourism section. The XII Travelers project was represented at the Camino Real International conference held in El Paso this September. In June the book won an award from a prominent children's magazine.
