[QUOTE=Full Metal Lotus] Hi Opal Did anyone use the word “Visionary” cuz, if not I would like to take the credit for defining your work as such… FML [/QUOTE] “Visionary” as used in art usually describes untrained artists, but quite often is used to describe those who aren’t mentally all there. Opal’s a little wacky, but I wouldn’t call her visionary. And even though I’ve done it elsewhere, CONGRATULATIONS! ---

Just wondering… Will a best of show award increase the value of it significantly? If so… by how much? Is it for sale? If so, how much? Just curious. 🙂 . ---

[/QUOTE] I have no idea if it officially increases its value at all, but the pricetag I put on it when I entered it into the exhibition was $900, and my boyfriend’s mom is going to buy it. 😃 ---
