Perhaps "Moore"? The most famous of which is of course Henry Moore. I do think this style is similar to some of the work he did (example the...
Probably not gonna feel good on an intruder's face, although I would just gift the gal some proper pepper spray. :hilarious:
Ceres is the last one you posted, with the wheat stalks in her hair. You're really going to love @Bronwen's website Cameo Times! She has a Key to...
This is a community and not social media with all it's nastiness. People here are much more laid back and friendly. :joyful: She can join when...
If searching Amazon then I would put in "watch repair magnifier" for the glasses (which is what I use). If a table magnifier then you should be...
Hahaa I just save myself the trouble and keep the things that make me happy to see regularly. I reassess occasionally and THEN sell if I've got...

I have a very niche side-project trying to track down all known carvings from a particular artist and avaluer turned up one I didn't have. Thanks...
Oddly, if you can't find certain videos on the main AR WGBH site, I have found episodes and clips on their WETA affiliate. Toronto Vintage (2014...
I had to start being honest with myself about whether I would look forward to listing something. If I thought "No I'm going to hate that because...
CAMEO TAX (ie photos) REQUIRED. :D If you love cameos, you're gonna love the 300+ page thread @Bronwen started here. It's the best education you...
I've come from freelance where income can be feast or famine, so you have to save and not get too spendy. I also resell to bump income up when I'm...
