Ms. Tely Shopping nor, they are the kind of books that are timeless and
worth hanging onto and rereading forever. Swear youv'e stopped shopping now, I'm demanding this as a mother or your accountant might do, or a husband, even!!! So, go ahead and ignore me.
Thanks for the nice things that you said about my work. As I told homegirl, artists saying nice things about my work mean so much more to me than just regular folks who don't struggle with it all......gracias.

These are remarkable. They breathe! And as you describe each one as being different from each other, then I suspect that you put a bit of yourself into each one. Which is what makes an artist different from a craftsperson. RYN: I went out and priced the O'Brian books in both paper and hardbound, new and used, and once I had computed in all the shipping costs to get copies -- the hardbound set was the best bnag for the buck. Don't worry, the shopping is pretty much done, I have enough books and music to keep me amused through the winter, and have become much more sensible. We could be related -- there's evidently hordes of Sewells, Pearsons, Pedens, O'Neals around...

homegirl, coming from another artist, your comment was greatly appreciated.
I like all that you do, your kindness to wonderfully wild relatives, your homeschooling your babies and your artwork!! I really like your exasperated posts on 'visitors' to your home. Never let go of that sense of humor.

It makes a lot of sense when you say it like that but it is less easy to do....
don't know if you checked your mail recently?

So, Spitfire, you don't use any ability to focus in on detail in your very
demanding work?!?!? I doubt that! Thanks for reading me. Thanks also for the compliments.

decshak, I'll send you my snail mail address and you can just send a hard
copy if that's easier. Thanks for the quitting advice. The only thing that has worked for me in the past has been plain old cold turkey....I have quit for as much as one year, five years and three years, three different times. There is hope for me......this time, too. It's all in the resolve.
Can't wait to see your pixie....shall give you instructions on how to post pictures on Blogit, if you'd like....

Tapsel-T, I do sell lots of animal angels, mostly people's pets and
whatever animals I'm thinking about that week. Thanks for liking the coyotes, their whiskers are their true selling point!! I make them hugely exaggerated for the joy of it.

beachbelle, I have to give up the cigarettes or breathing soon, one or the
other and I suuuupppppppoooooooossssseeeeee I shall have to choose not to smoke, as I do enjoy what breathing is left to me. I hate each one as I light it and I must quit this month, forever. No options left open to me.

All the pics came out and they are beautiful.
You're very talented. I'd never have the patience for such detail!

These are so lovely, B!
And I was worried about trying to find you pictures of angels! I didn't know that you made angels, already!
Zyban really worked for me, making it possible for me to quit smoking, but it takes several months and there's a limit to how much Zyban a person can take. I also used Commit lozenges, once the Zyban made me realize that it was time to actually quit smoking.
I'm sending you a picture of a pixie through email now. This one is all that I've figured out how to send so far. Probably it needs clothes, as do all my angels from the 1800's.... I hope you make lots of money for Christmas. Those are DARLING angels of yours!

I should have been making things in clay and was optimizing photos
instead!! Five hours not doing clay. I'm an idiot of phenomenal proportions. Gotta sign off and go make the clay for Christmas orders and Stop Blogging so much. Two addictions, cigarettes and blogging. Gonna have to give one up soon. The cigarettes, I hope. Pray for us sinners, now and in our hour of blog smoking.
