Another heart-warming story, Bob. The fact that you never made any money on this confirms my belief that almost always, the creators of art don't benefit financially, only the enablers.

I always loved what Elizabeth Gilbert said when she reflected that she always felt responsible to support her art and never really expected her art to have to support her

Thanks again for your encouragement Bill

I’m so pleased to have been gifted one of your tea cups. It sits on my desk, and I see it everyday and it makes me smile thinking of you! x Jane L (BC)
