Hi! I really love your work! I’ve been working in oils for about 20 years, (with a 10 year break to get a chemistry degree and have 2 kids) but now I’m getting back to painting and I’m working on a series of birds. After spending most of my art career trying to paint like a 19th century realist, I’ve decided to ditch that and really focus on emphasizing color and creativity. When I saw your work I was so excited! Your color is beautiful and the paintings of the girls in costume are brilliant (you must have a daughter?). Your work is a free spirit in progress. I look forward to checking yur site often for your latest project. Very inspirational!
Have a great weekend,

Love your work, which is amazingly varied! I just wanted to let you know I’ve used two of your free embroidery patterns–Pumkin Girl and Bat Boy–in some quilt blocks for a Halloween project I’m working on. If you’d like to see them, they’re in a Flickr album here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33572565@N05/sets/72157623920447703/
Hi. I just found you and your art a couple days ago. Wow! you are very talented and I love the twisted fairy tale look of your creations. I have just finished my version of your Queen of Hearts. I hope you like it. If you don’t want me to keep it up on my flickr I’ll understand. I should have asked for permission first I know but well…I got excited and drew it up and stitched it out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbergeron00/4683960925/
I was very careful to give you the credit for the original art and a link to your blog too. Please let me know what you think.
Hi there. I think your stuff is great and just wanted to share a picture of some embroidery I did of a picture of yours. I fell in love with the picture and can’t afford to buy it right now so I hope you don’t mind but I kinda copied it. I did change her hand a little because the one I drew looked like a fork.
Here’s the link http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=361380.0
It’s on my wall now. I really hope you don’t mind.
I am a great admirer of your work. I would like to get your little sugar skull girl tattooed on myself, and would appreciate your permission to do so. My budget is small, but I am just in love with it.
Please contact me with your feelings on the matter.
Shortly after the birth of my son Rohan a good friend presented us with an embroidery piece based on your September 09 Bat Boy pattern. Being a proud Dad I would love to get a tattoo representing him, and it is this design which is consistantly brought to my mind whenever I am thinking about it. Obviously I would never do something so rash without consulting the artist (a friend had somebody surprise her with a fresh tattoo of a little doodle she had posted on her deviantart page, she wasn’t impressed).
If you have the time or inclination I would love to discuss this with you – feel free to contact me via blekkja(at)gmail(dot)com. I will consider it a ‘No’ unless I hear otherwise in the meantime.
I love your artwork, some of them would make such great tattoos, would you mind? I especially like the tiger with flowers. Cute and strong like we all wants to bee.
I was wondering if you accept guest post for your blog. If you do, I would like to submit a few. I’m a recent college graduate, with an English major, looking to build out my portfolio. I can write on a wide variety of topics and am sure you would be happy with the quality. Please email me back if you are interested. Thank you for your time.
I used two of your Halloween free embroideries in a quilt this year – would love to send you a picture – email, please!
And keep them coming – I credited you for the embroidery designs in our quilt show – and had many gals ask me for more information! You can’t keep a good artist a secret!!
