He liked it:) Then he asked if you sell your work and I told him you present at shows in Texas.

Like all true artists you are your own meanest critics. I love the work you show and I am sure there is a way of selling what would be called ‘seconds’ here, unless you think inferior pieces might hurt your reputation.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-87023433636358992152015-01-11T14:14:34.806-06:002015-01-11T14:14:34.806-06:00To me, they're all lovely.

I know so well all those baited breath moments, and knowing you can't take shortcuts, though sometimes do. Understand the crying too, but if you know where it went wrong it is sort of ok. Amazing, after all that, how simply beautiful the 'perfect' ones are!Jennifer Tetlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216669559770468403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-33081996896421782152015-01-10T22:07:54.620-06:002015-01-10T22:07:54.620-06:00Failing makes success so much sweeter.Failing makes success so much sweeter.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-77576750138821440522015-01-10T17:41:15.112-06:002015-01-10T17:41:15.112-06:00Lovely finished piece.
