Phenix Pottery have been fantastic, I bought two of the bowls for Suzi as a leaving present from work but alas one broke somewhere over the alantic. We explained the situation and they sent out another one. Suffice to say she is the happiest of beans. <BR/><BR/>Vikki xVikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911918873179111021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-50449759684170911612008-10-15T23:57:00.000+01:002008-10-15T23:57:00.000+01:00Your new blog header is beautiful, Rima!

The little green elfish/tailed creature looking like he is doing a ballerina stretch is particularly charming. I find that I paint much like you describe... more like I am drawing than painting. I know this is not how many teach painting, but it is the most natural way for me. It definitely seems to work for you.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, <BR/>ChristiThe Artwork of Christi Bunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848949966583490343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-61609257535094465632008-10-11T20:34:00.000+01:002008-10-11T20:34:00.000+01:00Five past five and time for tea!

Do you still have any of your childhood drawings? I'm sorry I haven't visited in a while but I have to tell you that I like how your work is evolving. It is just slightly different, like more colorful or something, can't put my finger on it. Hope you are well.

It has a ghostly softness to it. And it looks like you have indeed made it your own. I really love the books with shoes and wonder if that section might possibly find its way to your etsy shop. It really speaks to me. <BR/>And happy belated birthday.
