Ruth I love your blog because you produce quality not quantity.
ReplyDeleteYour work is intricate and exquisite.
What you produce is absolutely beautiful.
Your blog design is simple yet says so much.
I came here today to give you some simple words of encouragement to keep going no matter how long the work takes to complete.
Your friend OAH :-)
It's going to be a very striking piece when it's finished!
ReplyDelete@OAH - what a lovely thing to say, thanks so much. I shall now try not to fret about not posting enough!
ReplyDeleteI'm not in the least bit surprised that you need to take it a bit easy after such a *tremendous* project! This project is lovely and Zen. Not to mention shiney! :-)
