    I just rejoice in your rich colours and design. That striped drape made my heart leap. The combination of shapes and colour is also breathtaking. More, more.

    Holy cow, Lisa! All your work is so consistently wonderful. So much detail and symbolism and color after color after color! And the proverb you chose is excellent.
