Terri, congrats on the cover and your inside picture porfolio, great job as always.

Bob D., your support towards carving is just fantastic, being the first in line to promote this thread to Terri is a real indication of your leadership, dedication to carving, and willingness to reach out to us all. Thanks a million for your efforts at WCI and the board.

I just saw it on the weekend, congratulations Terri! Looks great!

Aw, thanks, Bob and everyone else. What an honor it was to be asked to be the "Cover Artist". I've just been so very very lucky in all of this. I can't carve fast enough to keep up with demand, and every day I wonder why I get to be so blessed like this. I'm not that great a carver and am certainly not as "sane" as had been hoped by those who raised me.

I got a call the other day from a woman who had opened an art gallery last year and now wants to carry my work. We talked awhile, and discovered we had very similar backgrounds and were now each living out dreams we never thought possible. She used a phrase to describe the magic of how we ended up arriving at that phone call, making a connection and surely starting a new friendship as well as working relationship:

She said it's just what happens "When Prayers Collide".

I like that.

Thanks, friends.

Congratulations Teri well deserved although I havent seen the article as I dont subscribe to that magazine. I will see if I can find one at Chapters but I know without reading it, that is will be great. You have been quiet for a while nice to see you on the board again.
Hugs

Congratulations, Teri! The cover is terrific, as are the pictures inside, as are ALL of your carvings!! Pictures just don't do justice to how beautifully they are painted, you are an expert at that!! I'm happy for you girlfriend!! Callynne

Teri,
It couldn't have happened to a nicer or more deserving person. Your carving (and paintings) are so totally original and so "yours." It's about time a talented female carver like you gets the recognition you so richly deserve. We're so proud to know you--and so appreciate all the encouragement and sharing of carving expertise you've provided to us here.

PS How come you're still listed as from Pennsylvania? Or is Washington a suburb of PA?

As your main critic and supporter, I am continually impressed by the progression of your art.
