Hi All, Gotta love photo bucket.... Second try on posting this. Ok... This is the latest of my endeavors with the assistance of my friend Conrock!!! Tom is a courageous soul because watching me work through this stuff is really close to having your toes rubbed down with steel wool, lol!!!! Always there to help me through though, he really is the soul of patience!!!! This one is my version of A Starry Night by Van Gogh... only it's not over a European village... It's over an AZ desert, lol!!!!! Really missing the desert and Qsite right about now as we sit out the blizzard that didn't happen here in NY!!! All you guys down in AZ and Q, thinking about you and hope it's a wonderful time!!!! My Starry Night...

Very nice, Cathy!! I like the design and the work looks great.
I keep meaning to ask... is Connrock down the road from you or do you guys skype or something?

Thanks Tela, and he's a couple of hours away from here. We use the internet to work things out, mainly writing and photos. Sometimes we use videos back and forth. It's a challenge for both of us but we manage to work through things pretty effectively. He really is wonderful to work with and we have a lot of fun... between the bouts of him pulling out his hair because I'm off on another one of my ideas... like this one...lol!!!! (Love you, Tom!!! ) Anyway, that's pretty much how we work. I think it's harder for him that it is for me!!!!

Well we got-er-done and that's what really counts! We had a pretty rough start cuz Cathy knew NOTHING about any of this.Using a keyboard,photos,videos and a few phone calls isn't an easy way to teach or learn but we did it! In all honesty I did have to sit back and count to 10 a few times,,,NOT because of Cathy but because I couldn't find the exact,right words to explain things in a way that she could understand and learn.If I failed,she failed and that wasn't something either of us wanted! We've just touched on working with metal and I KNOW she WILL do a lot better then I ever dreamed of doing! She is VERY smart,creative and the one thing I like the most about her is that she will not quit until she does the job at hand!
I don't have much hair left so pulling it out doesn't matter much but trying to get her to do something basic has taken it's toll on my bald head! LOL
,,,,,,You've come a LONG way baby! Bravo Cathy!!! connrock
