dear Menon,
it is a firework of great comments come down on me!
this makes me proud and happy! :)
I thank you soooooo much!
Have a good, creative time. big hug - your Edda :)
U r welcome , Edda! It is after a long time that I visited your gallery. And I couldn't help making those comments. Such comments can give an impetuous to the artist encouraging him or her to continue with their good work. At least that is my personal experience. It is basic to human nature to be be happy when one's work is appreciated. And mine were genuine just like yours about my work...and not just lip service.
Thank you for your response, eddalina!
