I don't think most people are aware of how much planning and time goes into the making of a work of art.

Your mother has the persistence and patience to get it right, and is not satisfied until she achieves this. That's a very admirable quality, @slowwalker , and you are justifiably proud of what your mom has achieved.

I also love to see people create - it is the one thing that seems to make us truly human.

I collect colourful drawings of primitive man's cave art because it reminds me that no matter how primitive the culture, the beauties of the human soul shines through.

Your mother is a great human being, but I see flashes of that sometimes in you, @slowwalker, so I take the time to encourage you.

An excellent post, my friend!
