I am so happy and excited for you newmodeller. I am definitely going to go check out your gallery right now!

I hope you sell lots and lots in the future.

I find when I sell something as much as I love selling them a small part of me feels a little sad, silly isn't it.

I don't think it is silly snoozysnowshoes. Our pieces are like our children. We get to see them 'grow up' so it is always sad when they go.

I always feel sad when I sell a piece instead of giving it away for free. Now that is silly!

I sold Pete the Pirate to a guy in New Jersey.  I was quite sad to see him go but also really pleased that someone liked him enough to want him.

I almost sold a glove puppet but that buyer changed her mind.  Oh well!

I am having major hassle with the oversized marionette.  This afternoon the torso pm covering cracked in half and some of it fell off.  I think I have the pulp too wet.  Unfortunately the neck joint fell out as well.  This has called for a really major rethink and redesign.  I think I will go for a change of direction and produce a puppet that can be worked from underneath the dress instead. 

Strictly speaking I should be writing an essay on inclusion in primary education, bullet points on multicultural aspects of history and geography in the national curriculum and a letter to my professional tutor.  Groannnn!  I would prefer to be up to my armpits in glue.
