I really appreciate the wonderfully warm welcome!!! :D:D:D !!! I feel rejuvenated about trying to organize all my research into a complete package and hope that I can ask for some honest feedback as I go along? This is a fabulous group, and I'm honored to be a member!

 

Know what you mean about the internet as a tool. I never could have gotten where I am without it. Anyway, it's not the tool as much as it is the people who use it. If it weren't for spam folders, I'd have been out of here long ago!

 

A bit off topic, in answer to Capt's question about my activities as a miniaturist, I suppose that I can best illustrate with photos:

These little food items start out as lumps of polymer clay. I mix the clay colors to get what I want, shape the items, color them further with artist pastels and harden them in the oven. I work in 1:12 scale (1 inch=1 foot), and when my arthritis isn't too bad, I do 1:24...like the peaches. The table holding the bread board is 4 inches wide. The "poppy seeds" on the bread are actually grains of black sand. Hmmm...I see that my apples are a bit dusty! My husband is a ship modeler. He is so good at it! It's much more difficult than what I do. Planes, ships, I love to look at models!

 

Again, thanks all for welcoming me in here. I'll be seeing you!
