Comment: Thanks Sam! I don't have any of these fabric patterns. LOL I'm not a quilter but I can use these in my mixed media art! I entered this swap because I had so much left over fabric from a previous art craft project and I needed to pass them along. I really liked the boho, paisley, tye dye and asian swatches alot. And wonderful artwork. How big is each piece? Do you incorporate fabric into them as well? Anyway, thanks so much for hosting...it's fun to see how many different fabrics there are in the world! I guess it also helps that we don't shop at the same fabric stores;) Take Care. B
Response: I dont usually use fabric in my artwork. (except teesha patches! lol) I design my own papers so I can use them with out copy right infringement and I just like what I make. Any way. thanks!! I usually paint my mermaids on 9x12 inch. paper or canvas.

Comment: Thank you for the card!! My mom started an annual cookie exchange that I use to attend, but now that my mom has passed, I'm going to have to do my own!! I would love to hear more about how you do yours!!!
Response: Usually ill ask who all wants to participate. We have about 6. I'll set the number of cookies so that we each get 6 of each cookie. (So about 3 doz cookies for each participant to make and take home.) Since we are teachers, I have each person bag their cookies in half dozen batches. They drop them off in my room when they get to school and stop by during their off period to pick up their batches of cookies.

What an awesome zine holder book - thank you for making it for me, and also including instructions. I love the idea! And thank you for the creative penny and casino chips art! I love the heart as well - looks very neat heart and I cannot figure out how you got the design inside :):) whether it was painted on paper and inserted or directly onto the material that was poured into a mold? Thank you again! The mermaid stories are very unique.
Response: I poured the heart in two layers. Painted on the first layer when dry. Then poured 2nd layer

Response: no need to be nervous!! I gave myself a challenge about 95 days ago to paint a penny a day for a year. My first ones were wonderful! ...until i compared them to what i am doing now! lol I ended up buying a pair of jewelers glasses and that was the difference in what i could paint. now, the space doesn't even seem tiny any more.

Comment: Oh. My. Gosh. THANKS A MILLION! I was so surprised to receive all three of my painted penny wishes in the mail today! This was a huge and wonderful surprise that made my day! The Cookie monster came out so clear and perfect - you are very talented with these! I can only imagine having such skills with such small canvas-space! LOL! The answer to you inquiry about wanting a bear paw is that it's a symbol of my heart as a momma-bear. I am also part of the Wood Badge Bear Patrol in Scouts! Thank you so very much for all of these! I cherish each one immensely! Your package is being carefully curated and I'll let you know what the tracking number is once it's shipped out! TTYL
Response: so glad you liked them! i ended up having to do an Oscar the grouch for my son!

Comment: Sam.... Such wonderful pennies! Thank you! My favorite is the Alien spaceship! You are very talented! What size brush do you use? I've been using a 1, but I think I need to go smaller! Thank you again! 💜🧡💚💗💖💝💕💙💛
Response: Actually. It's not the size of the brush because I use the very tips. What made the difference was using jeweler's glasses. You should see yesterday's tiger king penny on my Instagram. Surprised even myself!!!

She looks just like my Kohii 😁. I showed it to her, and she was very interested in it! She really looked it over good !! So many fun little items inside... I think my favorite has to be the adorable little red glass hedgehog! Thank you for all the little fun items! You didn't put info on tag! 😮 Thank you again!
Response: yes, I painted the top. you can use it for cockatiel treats! I wrote in the letter that you can reuse the tag which is why I did not write on it. I see from your message that you did get the post cards. yes I painted those as well! thanks!

Comment: Hi Sam. Thanks for a fantastic masterboard! I like the colors and textures and the hints of goldleaf and sparkle, especially as I haven't used the metallic sparkliness much, so this adds something special to my collection to incorporate into my ATCs/pocket letters. I enjoyed reading your lesson instructions for your altered book semester project. It seems like a fun challenge I might like to try over the winter. I was thinking of choosing a partially illustrated book for its appearance and theme and building my posts around that. Perhaps a book focusing on my gardening and/or other improvement efforts in our rental home. Anyway, thanks for sharing that and your mermaid zine with me, and the adorable paper clips will be perfect for a project I have in mind for one of my little girls. Have a nice day!
Response: so glad you liked it! the gold leaf is the foil off of chocolates! have fun with your book!

Comment: First of all, SOOOO cute! I love it. ♥ I can't believe your generosity in sending the stamp along with the images. It didn't really need "fixing"-- I just cleaned it up a bit as you requested, and I've already stamped it on about 50 envelopes. :) I think you did a fantastic job with the letters; in fact, you inspired me to try to carve words myself (I've never tried it, either). I have no idea how you got such fine detail in some areas. What kind of tool did you use for little spots like the eyes and the paws? Anyway, thanks again for a fantastic gift. ♥
Response: just the little number one gouge that came with the carving kit. so glad you liked it!

Comment: Fun card, thank you. Another currency question is why is a dime smaller than all of the other coins.By the way, what medium do you use to create the color wash in the background?
Response: Is it because silver is worth more than nickel? I use acrylic paint and my finger and then I dust it with glitter while its wet. Its very reandom and I do a bunch at a time so what ever color you get is what you get!!!!

Comment: Thank you! The ornament you made is beautiful. Your recipe made me smile. When I was a kid, I decided to make dough ornaments one year. I had them all cut out and baked and was looking forward to painting them. My 4 year old brother found them cooling and crumbled them all into little bits. I felt crushed when I found them! That boy was such a brat when he was a baby!! We are close as adults though, so maybe I will try making dough ornaments again :)
Response: LOL! my nephew actually ATE his ornament last year and it was plastic!! He loves candy and the plastic sucker looked so real! This years ornament is a small sign that reads "regan, please dont eat the ornaments!" LOL!

Comment: What a lovely little ornament! Unfortunately the PO made a mess of the package and I was afraid that the ornament would be ruined, but it survived just fine, amazingly enough. The card was totally rumpled, sadly. I loved it all, though -- thank you!
Response: I am so glad about the ornament and so sorry about the card! Were you even able to read it??? Have a very merry christmas!! thanks for the rating and the heart!

Comment: Thank you Sam for the glitteriest APCs ever. The Fab eggs are FAB - total masterpieces! I love the madonnas too. Your work is absolutely exquisite and I feel totally lucky to have two suites from you, both of which I love! Amazingly they got through the strike (4 days after the PO hired a bunch of agency staff - read, scabs according to the Communications Workers Union!) unscathed. Thank you so very much. with best wishes from Kim x
Response: I am sooo glad you got them! Hurray for "scabs"! LOL. I'll PM later

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful ATC! The Athena you drew looks like such a warrior goddess, and the altered bottlecap adds such unique dimension. Hmm.. my guess for the next god/goddess would be Hermes. I guess we'll have to wait and see :-p LOL don't worry, i was wrong too! I totally didn't see that one coming. Demeter...?!! :-p
Response: I am so glad you like her! I was thinking Haephastus. (cant spell that one!) Either way, I suspect it will be male.........How wrong was I?
