One:
A number of years ago I purchased a wall sculpture in Sedona Arizona from
a gallery. The piece was of a mother and baby dragon. The gallery
shipped it home to NJ for me but it arrived broken. UPS promptly lost
the piece when they picked it up to investigate the packing and never
returned the piece to the gallery. I was hesitant to reorder on the
phone without them being able to send the piece back to the artist
because the glazing on the one I chose was very different than the others
in the shop. The gallery wouldn't put me in touch with the artist and I
dint' trust them to describe the glaze accurately and now I've lost the
person's name. Does this work sound like your's or someone you know?

Two:
I bought a number of small ~6" hand built alien/animal figures, two or
three toes and large oversized feet. The artist lived in Doylestown, PA
at one time. The gallery went out of business and I was told the artist
moved to CA. I think the gallery called the figures "uglies". I wish I
could read the inscription on the bottom of the feet, looks like ww's.
Any idea who made these?

By the way, who else makes fantasy type figures/motifs out there?

TIA

Donna Purdy of Likely, B.C., creates some of the most cunning, and at
the same time ferocious, dragons I've seen. She used to do only special
orders but I've heard that she's selling to a wider market now. She's
the only artist I've heard make reference to a "dragony blue" color and
all the others in the group seemed to understand exactly what shade she
meant...dragony blue??? The concept was very new to me at the time.
Donna, are you out there?
