I administer employment and training programs, so I understand what judith means :) Sorry to hear about the shelter's funding, judith. Hopefully those types of services will regain importance in the eyes of those who decide how our tax dollars are used. I have a rural background and love the plants and sets that Transpond has created. When I do fantasy scenes, I prefer to work with the characters like Scurmudgeon, hobbits,gobbles, house mouse, toon cat and the like. For me, "real people" and fantasy don't work, unless there's an historical connection. That's why I personally don't care for "nekkid vikies in temples" :) The ideas I have lean towards celebrating people who have made a positive contribution, humorous people, historical people and things/people I remember from my childhood.
