Thanks Heidi,
I grew up in central Cal so I do miss the sunshine sometimes when we have winters like this......LOTS of rain! But, it suits me fine. The weather here is cool 'n cloudy......just like my favorite beer......Hefeweizen!
I just have to tell you that I don't get how you great sculptors do it. I have taken classes in sculpting a couple of times. I still don't have the FOGGIEST idea how you do such marvelous workmanship. It's very accurate and so.......what's the word.....ummm.......TACTILE...yeah, that's it!
Cya 'round,
Gear
