this reminds me of the prettiest quilt cover ever!!
i love this little darling :) I continue to be amazed at the quality and pure brilliance in your work Matt..
I think you should be called the Doctor…..Dr Dolittle n all that signifies lol :))) ... i can imagine you catching a giant snail and chatting to the creatures … finding out what bothers them, and fixing things :))

Awwwww…...Im blushing Karin,the colours are so beautiful its hard to take a bad shot of them.I probably should have become a marine biologist or something to that effect,defiantly have the passion,if only i had studies more at school :
).Now as for riding giant snails,that sounds like something you would do in that jungle out yonder :))))Thankyou so much as alwaysKarin Taylor
I mean riding on the back of a giant snail (lol) not actually capturing one :) (like in the movie Dr Dolittle :)
