January 1, 2011 at 5:01 pmthank you for presenting such opportunity each and every month… i found that when i was able to participate i pushed myself further each time… it was necessary to raise my personal bar because you get such incredible submissions… they are all quite stunning… thank you for mentioning some of my work – especially the calder – i am indebted because i know that without the push, those pieces would not have been 'born'… here is to another year of inspiration!
