Yes! :)

It looks very like my Carding Mill, that Shropshire Lad. I love the spiraly petal formation on those. I'm trying Jude the Obscure this year, and hoping for Gentle Hermione, too. :)

Carding Mill! It's a David Austin rose & the best shades of peach, blush and cream. I'm trying other David Austins this year but I think Carding Mill has spoiled me for all the rest.

OH MY STARS

This whole time, I've been thinking Pete's nickname was the more latin-style "Papi". (PS: The girls' drawings are so good)

I will! And I can't wait for you & your daughter to see the mermaid dream pages in Dream Animals - it's one of my favorites (*and* the little girl is black!) :)

Are you trying to make my day? ;)

An important thing to consider, definitely. If one decides to make this little experimental project, there are many items you might use to shield the plastic mold from the light, ie: you might build a simple base for the bulb so that it doesn't come in contact with the surrounding plastic. As glass is a relatively poor conductor of heat, it seemed like a good place to start in my tinkering. Regardless, I will never use it unattended, and I certainly suggest everyone else do the same!

I adore that little painting and I'm so happy Boris is going to live with you guys. :)

Hi Gina, I rarely work big, because it's just not my way. I have a solo show coming up in October & I'm planning some slightly larger pieces, but nothing larger than 16"x20" or 20"x24" at the very biggest. ;)

Yes indeed! Prints of the new work will be available very soon - late this week or early next week.

Thank you, Ms. Marjorie! I'm such a stickler for frames! Must send children out into the world looking presentable.

That's the nicest note. Thank you, Kris!
