As someone who has seen your work up close, I know it will be amazing as always.

One day I'll be very talented and will have time to make the Padme Picnic dress and Queen Breha Organa's dress.

Wow - those are gorgeous choices and that is intricate work. We got to see your entry at SDCC masquerade last year (we were in Be a Fan) and that is some serious beading!

Yep, this goes well beyond the "craft" realm to the world of "art". Cool
