I've been sick and not able to work on anything for a while, but I thought I'd share a picture of my dedicated nurse-dogs! They take their job very seriously. ;)

I haven't yet introduced my poodles on my blog, though you have probably seen their photos on the little slide show at the right as well. Teddy (a large miniature poodle) is in the back looking at the camera. Next is Maisie (a black toy poodle) and Maggie (an apricot toy poodle) both taking a snooze. They really are the light of my life and each have such unique personalities, I will write more about each of them in the future. They are never far from me, and can be usually found on their nap couch while I work at my table a few feet away.

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! :)
