I'm also painting on some cakes too and loving it. Just finished 120 mini callalilies to put on sheetcakes for my daughters wedding extras. I'm having fun with it. Thanks so much.

Shirley Johnson OSCI in Mchgan: 01-01-04 Hi! Your praying hands are beautful. The one with lines going out looks like claping hands.The more solid looks like praying hands.

Your work is absolutely beautiful and you should be more than proud of everything you have done. You are definitely a very talented lady. Thanks for sharing your work. You are an inspiration to me.

Love your new stuff, the Tshirt is an unusual color for a background & you did a marvelous job with the roses. I think that they are hard to do on fabric. Also love your rose on soap and your china plate with enamels is gorgeous! Did you do the gold accents around the edge? I like the sheer look of the white daisies. It's beautiful :)

Judy, OSCI: IF I had your talent, I'd enter EVERY craft show I could find. Those roses are so real looking. I could even "smell" a few of them. Take pictures with you to the show and let people know you will take orders. Believe in yourself, because you are good and you really can do it. "You can't get to second base with your foot safe on first".
November 5, 2003 8:49AM

Patty Lester,OSCI: You get that paint brush out and get ready for your craft fair. You are a great artist! Be sure you have it set up that you ca take orders that way you will be able to do the project in your own time and know it will sell. Have pictures of your beautiful things and prices on the pictures so people know they can be custom made. Good Luck!

Now to inpart what I learned from Bob Ross never paint water runing down your paintin but always across your painting, if you stoped at the small opening of water and made bank with flowers SMALL ones with weeds etc and straight white lines going back and forth across your water showing activity in the water.Out side of that don't change a thing it is beautiful.God bless you, you show real talent.

Shirley Johnson OSCI in Michigan: 12-12-02 Hi enjoyed viewing your art. If I was to judge which you should put on Ebay would be your fruit coasters and your tall basket type vases with the Donna Dewberry rose on it, also you have two glasses with rose buds and leaves that looks so real I thought first they were. I can see you are trying to do a different rose but I must admit they are not the beauties You did on the vase and it was DD's boy you do great one stroke roses.
