Jokers... he's going to be in Illinois after January 2008.
I'll be in that class of course.
Why not make a weekend out of it and come on over.
It'll be at Mari Johnson's studio Blue Fire Beads in New Lenox IL.
Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'm real REAL excited.
I spent about 3 hours and several attempts to get this right. This was probably about the 7th heart that finally turned out. lol
Ebay? Yeah probably because my computer died and I need $$ to raise a new one... but it's really hard for me to part with things I learned in classes when I finally get them THIS right. Know what I mean... it's kind of a sentimental thing! But... I'll be no good for my customers without a computer. Hah!

Holy crap Jo-Jo! You've made me REALLY proud! I can't take all the credit, because I show lots of students the same things I showed you... but you have taken it in and grasp the boro like nobodies business. You really should be proud of yourself. Thanks so much for being a friend as well. I can't wait to see you again!
PS- I hope it fetches a million dollars, because it really should go way up! That heart rocks!

January, that is so far away though, that's like over 5 months from now. lol
Yeah I might be able to do that. It is only an 8 hour drive for me.
Where can I find more information on Mari Johnson's studio Blue Fire Beads?
Also I check on mr. smiley’s website again and his calendar doesn’t show any class dates. Do you think I sould just email and ask for a class information?

I highly recommend his class, Angelique and I drove about 10 hours from Dallas to KC to take it a couple months ago. The best way to find out where he will be teaching is to check the Classes forum here, or to give him a PM. I am not sure if he has access to his website email.
Cheers,

Obviously everyone you ask will give you a different answer, but I sell hearts like that for $25.

If I sold that heart for $25.00 after what I went through to make it, I think I'd have a heart attack! lol
Thanks though, Cosmo, I appreciate the input.

I'm hoping Mr Smiley can make it out here (Oakland) for Gathering 2008! What a wonderful heart, truly lyrical in flight!
Kudos to the Grasshopper and Master!

Excellent heart. Gorgeous colors, lovely shape, great wings.
And best of all -- the next ones will be just as good, and easier and faster!

Outstanding!!! What the heck color is that? Wing are hard! Very nice job! Are there any tutroials out there to do the wings like you have done them? I've been at it all day, and still can't get the results I want. And I don't have Mr. Smiley's help.

Yeah, but you can get that for them. I can't. If I put a price over $25 on anything, it doesn't sell...

lol, well it doesn't hurt that I had won a 2 hour personal instruction class with Smiley last year and had him all to myself!
All it is is white and amber purple!
Believe me, it's whatever your muse has in store for you that day.
I tried making another one last night...... and you don't even want to see the results.
ROTFLMAO!
