Hello and Goodbye...

I finally finished a "Glitters" I was working on, and he will be going to his new home and live with a sweet friend !!! ,seems he lost some weight this time....But it's a good look for him!!!!









Inspite of, as my son used to say when he was 4 yrs old,the " Freezing Blasted Cold" , I feel a little motivation going on,so I better get some things done...before it passes....

WOW! He's SO Cool!
I don't know how you do it! It's artists like you and LoopyBoopy that just Blow ME AWAY!
I have been working on some Valentine Cats and just their 6 little "hearts" took me a couple of hours to do and they don't look very good!
YOU are Amazing!

Hola Flora,
Wishing you and yours a very happy New Year. Gee Flora, How bitter sweet is this moment for your parting with your snowman. Even though, I know that you have found him a good family. I am sure that every time you part with your creations its bittersweet. He's so handsome in his top hat, I am sure that he'll be loved. Well, Flora thank you for share this story. Continue creating these lovely pieces that bring many people joy. Hugs, Mima

Another incredibly adorable creation Flora. But then so is most everything you make, & the stuff that is not adorable is delightfully, devilishly cool! You are still my #1 favorite artist!
