And a respected and loved older Gal too Woofie. The good thing is She will stay no worse for the wear at an attractive state forever. Did you notice the painted on age flaws. Tiny dancer meets,... "Her name was Lola,...she was a showgirl, but that was many years ago when they used to have a show.................................at the Copa,Copa CabaaaaaaaNaaaaaaaaa.

Remember that old song by Barry Manilow? "Faded feathers in her hair" was another favorite line..................Should she be then;...The tiny bikini dancer, 'Prima Dona Dellerina Polka Lola'?........... (I'm a silly old thang' ain't I)

One girl is missing?...........Shes very white........................................you'll recognize her soon..................

Uh oh. Is her name Betty?

Well she is white!
Shes gonna' stay simple and white on the whole. All the others are colorful and busy enough and I think this last one will cool it down a tad. Heres how the last part of this arrangement is coming now...

Ah, she is pretty just as is! Love the form.

Very nice!!!

Is that Mr. Whiskers with his harem? (I do like the pale delicate one.)

Yes Bev.

'Lady Paloma Columbina' is a favorite of mine to. Simple and pretty. I actually prefer that look and will aim more towards that in the future. I am having concepts of some seriously extraterrestrial looks though that will need to be flushed out......; one of the main ones in my my mind of the latter types described needs to combine some of the ideas handed to me from Dirt. I'm actually seeing the Bee face in Tiger Lily now, and the stripes and colors would cohabitate................

This is how the one you like looks now.

Since most of you are reading this thread, I will post here that @Sharon is in the hospital and has had a heart attack. She might get to come home today. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you!

I am upset to hear that Vicki. If you have a phone number for that hospital, and should Sharon be well enough to answer,.....I would love to give Her a call. I have grown to being very fond of Sharon and her talents in writing and art. I very much wish Sharon WELL! I will be keeping Her in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for Sharing Vicki. I am sending you an acorn so that your message is broadcast a small bit further.

Bless you David and thank you!

As a moderator, I'm supposed to prevent the hijacking of threads and I certainly didn't mean to hijack this one.

As for calling her, let's do this - if she doesn't get to go home today, I will send you the phone number.

Thank you so much for the acorn

Thank you for letting us know Vic. Will definitely keep her in my prayers.

I truly feel thoughts for my artist friend Sharon here at ATP and please do let her know Vicki. Thank you for alerting us.

I too wish her well! The good news I hope, is that she is coming home...no emergency surgery required.

I dont know how I got to this thread...or how I missed it. Great aluminum orchid David.

Oh what a disturbing highjack!
@vic
Please, let Sharon know how much we all love her!
And yes--absolutely in my thoughts and prayers!

Oh, dear! She has become such a dear and close, even though distant, friend over the years, this is truly disturbing! Thank you so much for letting us know!

Oh, Sharon, we are awaiting your having-gotten-well return!!

My warm wishes also out to Sharon...

Have you heard anything about @Sharon, Vic? I'm hoping Shes already home and reading this...
****************************
I know Sharon and a few of you have been watching the progressions in the very lengthy progression of this one botanical fantasy aluminum sculpture;....and finally...'Mr. Whiskers' and his gals are habitating together and finished. I am also happy it is so;.......finally!

This was posted earlier today on the Porch Swing...

Be safe in the storms, y'all.

Apparently and for no reason at all my heart massively rebelled last Friday. It's also decided to remain contrary for a while longer. Who knows when I'll get home.

Be safe, be well and love those puppies gin!
