I just recently re-watched Blue Velvet. I think it's great!
For me, her hair is disturbingly too big for her face and head-- it's distracting. And it looks so very, very 1960s. That's another negative in my...
Half a boatload of beer pots, or two electric guitars..... a tough call... I guess if the beer is included, I'm gonna go with the pottery.

I'll only add that the paint looks pretty dang good for a 1000-year-old pre-Columbian buried artifact. So, were you walking down the street and...
I did contact them, but ended up going with this guy I've met at shows a couple times. He owns a gallery and restoration / preservation service...

Thanks Johnny!
Thank you @2manybooks! I appreciate that. :)
