Hello Tristan,
Just stunning!
~ Gabriela ~
Every week I seem to have a new favorite among your assemblages. I too like to blow them up and admire your sense of design.
But it's Thursday. You got me so confused there for a moment.
Tristan,
This is so beautiful. I love embellishments, and this is designed beautifully.
You won a mini painting Tristan. Please e-mail me what you would like me to paint for you. My e-mail address is karenharveycox@mac.com. Include your mailing address too please.
Have a wonderful day.
Karen

the Belle quote "the gem that fills it sparkles yet."
So dear -
Hi Tristan, We have never been formally introduced, but I have seen you all over blogland. I wanted to come over and invite you to a party. It's actually a party where I had you in mind when I decided on the title. The name of the part is "Where Bloggers Create" inspired by the magazine Where Women Create". But when I decided to throw this party for everyone to show off there wonderful studio's and work spaces, I thought "I can't call it Where Women Create...what if Tristan wants to come!!!" So, I would love it if you would hop over to my Home and Garden blog (My Desert Cottage) and check it out. (I also have an Art Blog called Valentine Studio, and you can find info there too)
I hope to hear from you soon!!

Hey Tristan,
I am bowled over by this work of art. My pea brain just can't figure out how you come to design such a wonderful creation. I can see all the hard work and the awesome detail you did and when I made the photo larger...Wow! I love the keys and the pretty blue bugle beads you used. I also adore that fuzzy strip of blue on the side.
It's really fabulous Tristan.
Deanna :D
Oh yes and congratulations! Karen is a fine artist and I can't wait to see what she paints for you!
