Carolyn, as yours always understated British fellows would say: well done!
Tha Italian way: bellissimo!

Carolyn, and in American English , not as beautiful but just as sincere I say "stunning" and "wow" and "amazing." This is such an emotional piece to me and I have been follwing your progress. It is bitter sweet. I just loved the way you finished it. I would give you top honors in a competition. Yes, do enter and then let us know about all your winnings!

Carolyn,

This is a really beautiful piece. I love the design. It definitely looks like a winner to me too! Boy am I excited to give that sanded paper a try, although I'm sure the artist had more to do with this truly successful work than the paper ;) ! Congratulations!

:thumbsup:

Hi Carolyn,

Just want to tell you how much I love this piece. This is truly beautiful!

I saved it in my computer for inspiration, hope you don't mind.
