“I am probably the happiest person you will ever meet.”<\/em> How sweet is that! :)\u00a0 She has been a mixed media artist for quite some time and has recently taken up polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\nI found her or she found me (can’t quite remember), and we have been commenting on each other’s web sites ever since.<\/span><\/p>\nAround Valentines, she posted pictures of some polymer clay hearts she had made (see photo above), and asked for feedback. about which ones everyone liked best and why.<\/span><\/p>\nI liked the top center one in the picture above… with the black seed beads pressed into its surface. I liked it for its color and texture. Also, the shape was a little quirky. It looked good shrunk down in the photo, which meant its overall design was good.<\/span><\/p>\nShe showed pictures of quite a few other hearts in her valentines post, and a fair number of people left her comments. So I wasn’t expecting to win anything.<\/span><\/p>\nBut Susan being the kindhearted soul that she is, ended up sending a heart to everyone who commented. It was such a sweet gesture… and it made me feel like she had sent me a small piece of her own loving heart.<\/span><\/p>\nWell, my sweet little gift arrived the other day and I was thrilled! Inside the package was the very heart I had commented on and a handwritten art card featuring a print of one of her own artworks on the front.<\/span><\/p>\nI love your gift Susan! I know that you were shy about sending it. But you should know that nothing touches me more than to hold in my hands the work of a new polymer clay artist. It is like holding the promise of great things to come!<\/span><\/p>\nJust imagine what it would be like to have one of Donna Kato’s early pieces… or something from Barbara McGuire or Kathleen Dustin. Well that’s the potential I see in your heart Susan. To me it is very exciting<\/span>!<\/span>
