Just wanted to say thanks to Joe, and everyone who works hard to keep this website going. I have enjoyed being able to talk to artist, and I have been sending pple to the website to check out my work. I recently got a job making a dog launcher out of ceramic to be placed on the grave of a beloved pet....the work in progress...how exciting...and I know the reason I got the gig was because they went to the site. They told me so...so heres a giant THANK YOU!
Im always intrigued by where projects get their real start...is it a flash of something in my sight? and old memory? a commercial?...heres where this project is starting..a very boring toy...but I am going to take all the feelings I have had for pets over the years and im going to squish it into a loving memorial...wish me luck..lol
