Tie kindness to planting seeds -- seeds start small and they grow and sprout into big plants or huge trees just like kindness can grow.
A week ago, someone wanted to order my ' Dandelion Wish" Iphone case for her sister's upcoming birthday via etsy - VHNYBoutique. She mentioned that her sister knew me.
Yes, Her sister was a friend of S. We met during the Lawrenceville School reunion this May. Before then, she told me where I could secretly plant My Little Norway Spruce, in central park.
I decided that I would give her the case as her birthday gift! They wanted order 5 cases to support my fledgling business as return. They love my painting, and sent me their pets pictures for portrait. I had not painted many animals before! They were so adorable! I did enjoy painting them. Kate - the border collie, was the most challenging one. She just passed away. They did not have a good shot of her. I had to rely on a very blurry picture of her and how they described her to create the image of Kate. I understood how much she meant to them, it was so emotional. I took the project very seriously! Fortunately, the outcome was great! Here are the cases I created! My original paintings are much nicer. It is inevitable and unfortunate that some details and color saturation are sacrificed during the printing process!
