Our deepest appreciation goes to each of the artists who participated in this adventure; their ability to share, explore, and trust humbles us. Great thanks to Rich Honaman for the hard work and long days he put in to make the images fantastic, and for his ability to whip up a mean cocktail. Jeff Dever’s belief in us and the support he offered, both during the planning of the book and during our week’s exploration, were critical to the success of this experiment. His help during our time together on the Outer Banks—spurring conversations, stirring collaborations, and providing great topics for discussions at dinner—proved invaluable and added so much to the experience and printed word. All of us felt spoiled by the never-ending supply of delectable meals and snacks that Jim Glass provided. What a delightful surprise it was for the artists to open box after box from companies who generously donated polymer, supplies, and tools for the artists to use; grateful thanks to Polyform Products; Van Aken International; Staedtler; Viva Decor; Ranger Industries, Inc.; and Fire Mountain Gems and Beads. As we embarked on this journey, Joy Aquilino understood our vision and gave us wonderful guidance and support. Alison Hagge, our project editor, took our manuscript and crafted a page-turning story that brings you into the house with us. Betty Wong, Caitlin Harpin, and La Tricia Watford from Random House all helped to turn it into a beautiful book.
