    Nikki,
    Magnificent showing of diversity and creativity! The Mayan Bowl Chair is stunning and if it isn’t purchased by Christmas I’ll eat my shorts! Will the gallery allow a paragraph on the wall about the chair, it’s origins, and the result of sitting in the chair? “Mayan Blessed Bottom Chair”? I didn’t know you were making a wall light from the Zen Garden, it’s really beautiful. And of course your pastels always shine. I predict you will have a fat holiday. Good luck with the opening and the show….but you won’t need it.

    Chris, good to hear from you. Yes, the gallery has a short blurb about how the chair was created plus two photos of it in progress. Of course I need good luck – Let’s hope you’re you’re not found somewhere in a corner munching on your shorts. (Chris’ website http://chrisbolmeier.com/ )

    Happy Holidays Virginia, and even though in Canada where you are Elizabeth, they don’t start saying that for a couple of weeks, why not start a little earlier this year and get into the Art-buying spirit?! Yes, let’s hope that Art is appreciated this year more than ever. Good luck to you too V. (Virginia’s blog is http://vwieringa.blogspot.com/ )
