    Faerie Magazine

    Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 05:02 PM GMT [General]

    I want to say a big and belated thankyou to Faerie Magazine for producing the article about my Charmed Realm artwork, and another big thankyou to Be who did such a wonderful job of editing it.  It was hugely thrilling for me to see my work within those pages.  :)

    I am so happy to find that you are here on EF~ I love your work!
    This sculpture is simply beautiful. I love the curve of her body and the detail in her hair. She will be a treasure in bronze.
