N2scraplvr - You create beauty for yourself and others to see and it deserves to be appreciated! I am so glad you brought these out of the past and shared them with us!! Now I've just got to try that snail's trail!
One day it hit me why we are so glued to viewing ice skaters and gymnists and it's the "grace" we appeal to and deeply desire! We don't see enough of it displayed, specifically, the ice skating. It mellows us and is so comforting to the psyche. Your dad is right, we admire what we can't do. Thank you so much for seeing something in my work I never saw b4 and hopefully it will be the grace we all internally long for! May the love of the Creator and His creation be seen thru all of us in our work; to Him be the glory forever. Now we want to see your spin on that wonderful old pattern called snail's trail! We are all looking forward to it for sure! Thanks again Rhonda for your super kindness and down-to-earth qualities! :lol: :wink: :lol:
