I'm soooo envious of your talent.
I'm very intrigued with your soaps, is it possible for you to tell me how you made them or refer me to a book or website on the subject?
I'd love to try that too. Oh, so many ideas and so little time. LOL

Lynda in Michigan: I just LOVE your work! Looks like you know just waht to paint on anything that doesn't move. ( I do mean that as a compliment!) The reason I got interested in OS was a wallpaper pattern that I thought I might like in my kitchen but I didn't want it to be so organized. After looking at your work from Potter House, I think I have some ideas on how I can paint in my kitchen--after LOTS more practice. I will be back often to get more inspiration. Everything is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! Lynda
June 18, 2003 8:17AM
JoAnne: Absolutely breath taking. I love all your work. I especially love the little filler flowers that are sort of a l stroke. Can you tell me what brush you used to do them? They look so delicate. I hope some day that I can paint at least half as good as you. Your work is fantastic. JoAnne

Penny: You are truly and inspiration to me to continue on in my endeavor to learn OS. Your work is just beautiful and I long for the day when I can capture some of your creativity. Can you please share with me any tips and advice on the use of lace in your projects? Is the lace actually somehow on the mailbox or is it a painting technique? Silly question, but I am totally in awe and can't even imagine how this would be done. They are just lovely! "Thank You" so much for sharing.
March 9, 2003 8:25AM
Pam: Your work is absolutely delightful. I love your mailboxes. Can you give me some pointers on doing the lace effect and the doily? Do you use a white box then spray over the doily or what. Also could you tell me how to do the strokes of your dragonflies/butterflies on the mailbox. The look like both to me.
Keep up the wonderful work, you are such an inspiration to me as I am sure you are to so many others.

What did you use as a final sealer? What size brushes did you use? BTW, I have to tell you that the yellow rose is so pretty. My favorite, I think...maybe the blue roses (?), the reddish (?). They're all just great!

Judy Payne: Hi,
I looked at your great picturetrail because somehow your picturetrail link got hooked to a message I sent to the group. Don't ask me how. Serendipity, I guess, because just TODAY I bought some tiles for the first time. Well, your tiles are great so, of course, I have some questions.
I would like to make some trivets out of 8" by 8" tiles. Do you know if FolkArt paint with some kind of sealer, varnish, etc. can handle the heat? If so, what do you use?
What do you use to prepare, paint, and finish your other tiles?
Thanks, Judy Payne

Julie Hopper: Leslie,
What a change you have made at the Potter's House Church - Decorating can sometimes be very stressful when you have to renovate - The outcome of you and your paint brush has been delightful.
The Potter's House family will enjoy your work for years to come.
Thank you Jesus for the talent you have given Leslie.

Quwatha: Leslie, I just loved The Potter's House mural. Your sons did a good job, too - hope you paid them well. About the kitchen border of grapes, etc., that you did for a friend - what did you stand on up that high? Didn't you have to get up and down several times?
August 24, 2002 9:58PM
Luanne: Leslie- You and your guys are doing a great job in the nursery. I love it! Luanne

Eve: Leslie, I agree with everything said below. Your album was one of the first I looked at when I started. You just keep getting better and better. I love the rose swag. It just pops. And the lace mailbox is wonderful.

antonietta: Hi,
I forgot to ask you yesterday, what paint do you use on your glass vases? Do you bake afterwards?
I'm painting vases and hate the perm enamel paint. Was wondering if there is something better.
Thanks

antonietta: Hi,
I loved your painting. All your work is beautiful. I loved your bowl with the fish and cat. What strokes did you use to do the fish? I tried some, but they didn't come out that good. YOur roses are beautiful. I love the two different roses that you painted on the tin. How did you do those?
Antonietta
August 21, 2002 12:20PM
Anita: Good Morning!
Your paintings are so beautiful! I couldn't believe each one was better than the last.
I really liked your roses, it seemed that your had several different types. Would like to try them - if you have an author or book that you use aside from Donna Dewberry's books, please let me know. Your faux backgrounds are terrific, any tips for someone who has been fairly new to painting would be much appreciated.
Maybe, it's the colors that I am using for the faux background that I don't like.
Your tinware is wonderful, beyond words.
Thanks for sharing.

Kathy, OSCI, fm AL =^..^=: Leslie,
Wow! Your wall job turned out fantastic! I love your blue hydrangea! Wasn't it scary being up so high on that ladder? That's the thing that keeps me from even thinking about painting on walls...I'm afraid of heights!!! Glad your customer decided to pay you what you were worth and not what you charged her. Now you know what to charge from now on...you are definitely worth it!
