The past 6 weeks or so have been really rough. I've dealt with chronic illness since I was a child, but there are times where it is still really hard to cope. Lately, the dysautonomia related to MVPS has been downright horrid. The dizziness, brain fuzz, and swelling in my hands have made it hard to do much sculpting, so I haven't had many updates to post here unfortunately. When flare ups keep me from working for weeks on end, it can be frustrating - not only for my customers waiting for their custom orders, but also for me, since things just don't seem right if I don't have my hands clay every day! :) Thankfully the last few days were a tad bit better and I was really thrilled to be able to get this trio of macaws done!

I love receiving photos from my customers enjoying their parrot art, it always makes my day! Here are some cute photos sent from a customer in Hong Kong with her birds modeling their "clay portaits"! These pictures gave me such a smile that I had to share them here with you all. (Thanks Amy!)

Also, I wanted to thank everyone who has visited and left such kind comments here on my blog! I can't answer each one but I do read them all and enjoy hearing from you. Glad you are enjoying the blog, and I will post more photos of other works in progress soon! :)
