| post this before but my "sometimers" is acting up and I can't remember who I am.
I also think I have to get back to the shop - things need to be created. Thanks to all who have graciously commented on my art.

| I don't remember this Thunderbird, but then I seem to suffer often from Oldtimers disease. LOL. You certainly need a gallery to showcase your unique artwork. Some Metal Sculptors get big bucks and I know darn well you are as good as any of them!

| You once posted a "phoenix" but I haven't seen this one before. I'm always blown away by how you can take ordinary household objects and create something so cool with them. I look at a garden trowel and see a tool for digging in the dirt. You see the body of a bird. Amazing! |

| Well, I thought it was a garden angel so it's still really neat looking!! Is that part of a weight thing that goes in brackets(always cringe when someone takes them off to "lift" them. I had some around here when son lifted some weights. Jan |

| Yes I am retired but I only sleep about 4 hours a night. The rest of the time I dream; sometimes on the computer (MS Paint), or on paper – yup I have a big pile of paper scraps loaded with sketches and poems, and bits of stories: all kinds of unfulfilled dreams. . A gallery? Karen - from your lips to God's ears. I did spend some time on the internet looking for an agent but I guess I didn’t do that right. I also exhausted my search for an Arts grant. With that I might be able to purchase some real equipment instead of having to rely on a "thrown together" collection of mismatched tools. But grants for the Arts are for the "In" people and not for self-taught, outsider artist like me. It would be nice to supplement my poverty level income but I have always worked with just enough to get the job done so I'm kinda used to it. Not that I wouldn’t welcome a change. But I am so fortunate to be able to use the talents lent to me to make people smile every now and again. And I have been blessed that my little creative works are so well received and might be the spark that causes someone to discover their own hidden talents. |

| Well said, Robert. Do you ever do any craft/garden/antique/junk shows/sales? Some of them draw loads of people, and that would get you a lot of exposure. You might sell some peices to be able to expand, and you never know who you might run into at those things either. Altho I know you have to pay in advance to set up and that can get expensive. |
