Even award money (though cash of any kind is always appreciated) I tend to think you should feel more honored with the idea that someone is willing to part with their hard-earned money in order to have your work in their homes. <br /><br />I definitely agree with Angela ribbons do help with sales. But at the same time I have a bunch of ribbons hanging in my framing room and more in a storage closet. These give me no real pleasure after the actual awardings. But having money in the bank that makes me smile. And loyal patrons bring me real joy.<br /><br />It is odd they gave both awards to the same artist though not unprecedented. Most events dp prefer to spread the love as it were though.<br /><br />Good luck with Swanee and Polo :)monahttp://mona.myartbliss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-61777144339153258992010-06-16T08:10:23.500+01:002010-06-16T08:10:23.500+01:00It's true Cynthia, but I'm not upset about...It's true Cynthia, but I'm not upset about it. I think I would be more upset if her best piece won and another piece of hers came runner up, because that would show that the judge had some degree of sanity! As it is, I think he must have been drunk or something :)<br /><br />Thank you for the congratulations!!Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-90915725209262787852010-06-16T04:54:18.921+01:002010-06-16T04:54:18.921+01:00I'm no expert, but I'd agree with Scott. ...I'm no expert, but I'd agree with Scott. It's either 1st or 2nd or 3rd. A person shouldn't be awarded multiple prizes unless they were the sole entrant. Just my humble opinion....<br /><br />Celebratory congratulations for selling 3 pieces, however - that IS terrific news!cynthiahttp://coloradoartstudio.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-23366685522382117972010-06-15T22:37:23.367+01:002010-06-15T22:37:23.367+01:00Thank you Angela!

I'm very pleased for Stella though, she really is a wonderful artist.<br /><br />Thank you so much Kathy! Yes, I will definitely make the robin - during my inactivity I've been looking up reference photos and choosing glazes!<br /><br />Thank you both so much for your well wishes :)Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-90336118782163214362010-06-15T18:19:00.373+01:002010-06-15T18:19:00.373+01:00Ditto on hopingyou feel better soon.

Wish the doctors could be of more help.<br />Many people come to belive the sales are worth much more than prizes. But then again, prizes can help lead to sales.<br />It is great you are being so immersed!!!!! Keep it up!Angela Finneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624300189795333736noreply@blogger.com
