Could you give a close-up of the two that are in the upper left hand corner? Looks like one is tan and the other grayish. Also, please show the red one–I’m thinking that would be a nice compliment to the plush phoenix you made for me some time back. Thanks!
I am very sad to hear this. I didn’t know her that well but I remember seeing her name on this forum. My condolences to her family and those who knew her–sad we won’t see her on here anymore.
I’ve finished mine and am just putting the final coat on it. I like what I did and hope my swapee does as well. I feel that these swaps help those of use who are so-so painters get some practice in. I enjoy seeing what people get and am curious to see what my swap partner painted for me. Swap pieces are a part of the person who painted them–unique and special.
Yes, stuff does happen and it looks like the PYO has been pronounced healed by the person organizing the swap. If I were the recipient, it wouldn’t bother me–I know how much work goes into these pieces and we want to do the best we can for the person we’re painting for. Whoever gets it, they will know how much concern you had and the work that was poured into this piece–I would consider it a very special piece.
Oh no! So sorry this happened to you and I’m glad no one got hurt and your pets are fine. Vent all you want–this is stressful–and we’re here for you to try and give you as much emotional support as we can. HUGS!
Yes, I do remember you! You made me a plush phoenix–red with gold-yellow wings–still have it! Noticed that griffin on your site and that I adorable! Good to see you back.
Life is so unfair–things that are absolutely delicious are so bad for you–when was the last time you craved broccoli or brussel sprouts or anything healthy for that matter? I truly believe that when I die I will go straight to heaven because I’m living on hell here on earth right now!
Yaaaaaaay girl! So glad this is over for you. It was only right that you should get alimony until you reach 65 and get the larger portion of retirement to boot. You didn’t start this–he was the one who filed, as I remember. Kills me that there are some men when they want a woman out of their lives they want her to just leave without any compensation despite all the years they were married and the children they raised. So glad this turned out the way it did–the judge was probably sick and tired of seeing Rod in the courtroom.
I’m wishing you the best in relocating to your new home. At least you’ll be near your family. Of course, you have all of us here pulling for you. All that positive energy in your favor–you couldn’t lose!
Okay, here’s mine. These little things are cuter than a bug’s butt!
The backside does look like a face of some sort.
UPDATE: I did get more information on Angel–here is the picture they sent me:
Like the picture says, she is a Lilac Crown Amazon and here is a picture of what one looks like fully feathered:
She came to The Oasis in 2007 because the elderly woman who owned her for decades could no longer care for her. She was hatched in 1962 so she’s a little over 50 years old!
She came to the sanctuary fully feathered and I’m going to guess that the stress of being moved from a home she had for over 40 years and no longer seeing her owner could have caused these feathers to fall out. I do not know if they’ll grow back again. But she is doing fine and the sanctuary tells me that she has settled in and even has a boyfriend–a White Front Amazon named Chaco. Here’s his picture:
You can send ‘care’ packages for your sponsored bird since the sanctuary does not have a budget for toys–needs come first. I plan to do this for Angel around Christmas–hope to have a little more money then.
I’m told she is a very sweet bird–some friends of mine have commented that you can tell she is sweet by looking at her eyes. I do hope to be sponsoring this bird for many years to come.
Thanks for your comments! 🙂
I’m going to make this Wednesday for a potluck gathering along with some macaroni and cheese–will let you know how everyone liked it!
Yesterday day is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift–that is why we call it the present.
