What a great birthday present. I just LOVE Smkie's bunnies. I think the inscription on the underside is so great too!

i love it when my art has this kind of response..i am going to toot my own horn a little so excuse me for not being humble..its really neat tho..i have customers that i have been able to go the extra mile..i am going to cease doing a lot of special orders because that is all i ever get to do..and i have my own art that is being sadly neglect. I want to focus on a few pieces between now and Christmas..but in the past that is about all i did. One friend asked me if i could do cats..it was to be painted on a clay pot that i turned into a bell. I drew cats all different kinds infront in a class room..shoot i will go find it and come back and post it...it became a pretty popular design and i want to paint a final..geez my point is the woman was retiring as a grade school teacher after like 40 years..when she opened the gift she was so surprised and pleased that she got tears in her eyes..that is the best feeling in the whole universe to know you could do that..please someone..make it special. So that is my goal..i try to go the extra mile. I am getting some collectors now and i think that is a good thing..i do want eventually very far away from rocks..hehe i cant look at a clay pot ever again i made so many bells it runs way into the hundreds..then there was the wooden boxes..now rocks..i want to simply do paper and canvas very very soon.

smkie...

What all kinds of art do you do? Besides beautiful bunnies on rocks? You mentioned cats on clay pots. What else do you do? I'm interested!

Smkie does EVERYTHING beautifully . . . painting on anything and everything, drawings, sketches that look like something out of Michaelangelo's notebooks, embroidery you wouldn't believe, beadwork . . . a one woman renaissance movement!

Grammy was just here and we were sitting outside and enjoying the bunny. There are so many layers and depths of colors, it's amazing. So 3-D and such detail! Beautiful, smkie!!
