That's a sweet sentiment,and presentation!jessica torrant 18 Mar 2005
I like how there is this connection to Giocometti (sp?) in the style but as compared to his work, this piece does not give you that loney or sad feeling. They are delicate, but together they are strong. I really like this a lot. A++Casey Catton 14 Mar 2005
