I just love them and appreciate all of the care you took with making them so gorgeous. For two people who moved away from the shore to hot, dry interior areas of our country, they will be especially beautiful reminders of the sea and all it contains. I'm so excited for them to arrive!Mixed Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273105474509056440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11562481.post-54698948718477320222010-07-28T09:11:03.504-04:002010-07-28T09:11:03.504-04:00i found myself smiling as you fed them their words...i found myself smiling as you fed them their words...lol.Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11562481.post-5216219845961932132010-07-28T07:42:09.197-04:002010-07-28T07:42:09.197-04:00Your seahorses are amazing!

The other commenters were right, it's pretentious.<br /><br />I can easily imagine your seahorses hanging on the wall of any exclusive beach house featured in Coastal Living magazine (and I'm a trained interior designer).<br /><br />Keep on creating your art your way and let them find someone else to write their grant proposals!Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260987219988824912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11562481.post-90182478206927947862010-07-27T11:47:25.374-04:002010-07-27T11:47:25.374-04:00What an ironic situation with the gallery!!
