didn't take it as you being mean... you just couldn't tell what animals I used to make him. He has a dogs body and a hummingbirds head. The rest of him was handle scuptled and very difficult to make and complete. You handled this so much better than I would have. Kudos. I miss seeing your posts! Good to see you, friend. What are you working on next? He he...I'm glad you said that and not me..LOL I thought I would take the HIGH road on this one if you know what I mean =0) I miss you guys too, I've been looking at all the beautiful work you all have been doing, just haven't had the time to create much lately. Hopefully I'll get back up and creating soon. Really love and appreciate you all...you help keep the spirits up when I'm down. BIG HUGS XOXOXOXOX

Sorry Marvin didn't do too well. That sucks. The eBay market is just so fickle. Hope you have better luck next time!! You're so talented!

I'm sorry he didn't do well... he was so cute, I'm really surprised! Don't take it personally, maybe the wrong people were looking or something. My personal opinion about all customs is that they really are priceless. They are all so special because they're unique and OOAK.

Thanks SOOO much Mrs. V, Mystic and Alli.... I appreciate all your kind words. And boy did I need them at this point. This really has me bummed about him selling for next to nothing. He took lots of time and effort to do. Owell, I'm sure I'll get over it, I have others I hope to get working on soon. Thanks to all the POSITIVE people on here, I will keep creating =0) Hugs to you all XOXOXO

Aww, sorry to hear he's still bumming you out. I meant everything before, and I'm glad if it gave you any ounce of comfort. I still like Marvin. And I know personally I'd love to bid on EVERYONE here's customs for thousands of dollars (which they're worth if not more!.. well priceless as I said before, lol)... but as I'm a bit broke at the moment, I won't even let myself bid, because I know my highest bid isn't even a fraction of what you deserve to get for any of these critters! Sorry, but this just made me chuckle. I know what you meant... but it was humorous to me, because I'm quite the pessimist. I just happen to be very supportive and caring (too much so).. but as far as my outlook, the word Positive wouldn't be my choice, hehe! I just had to share the irony and humor I found in this, although I do know what you mean - the people here ARE great and wonderfully supportive and encouraging! And yes, yes, yes, DO keep creating! You're great at it!

Keep plugging away!!! We love your stuff!!! Smooches and hugs! Judy thanks so much Judy boodie.. you know I just love your hugs and encouragement! I will pick myself up by my bootstraps and start creating soon again, I always seem to "go through" my funk and then get over it and do it all over again. I LOVE creating I just wish the people who buy my stuff would pay what it is worth. I know you understand how each piece we do becomes a part of us. Anyhow, my Mom has sugery today and I'll be helping out with her for a while hopefully after that I can find a moment to start creating again. Thanks again and big hugs back at ya, Tina =0)

You're great at it! Hey Mystic..thanks so much for the encouragement! I truly appreciate all your kind words! And I seem to have a pattern I wish I would get rid of, creating something I think is brilliant, getting all excited, posting it, and then it sells for next to nothing. I get all in a funk and then somewhat get over it and then do it all over again. I wish the PATTERN would change into a brilliant piece, it sells for what it's worth, then go create again. But o well, can't win them all I suppose. As for the positive thing, it's so funny that you say that becuase I was brought up around some really negative people and as I've gotten older I've tried my harded not to be a pesimist. Especially since I have children now. I don't want them to be that way. So it's refreshing to find such kind loving people on the forum and I find that once you surround yourself with nice, genuin people that it's not so hard to be a positive nice person too. I still have my moments of NEGATIVENESS, beleive you me, however I tried to think ... I treat others as I would like to be treated. Sometimes that's REALLY hard. I'm sure you understand that too. Thanks again..HUGS, Tina

Hi there! I know the feeling about ebay sometimes. You work so hard on something and it may seem like a waste of time. I have felt that way before. Your custom looks like it took a lot of thought and of course time to do. I wish you better luck on your future customs! Don't give up on the thing you really like to do. Just wanted to pass along some support to ya!!

Ahh, I understand what you mean. I think that's part of my own anxiety and why it's taking me so darn long to start my very first custom .. I have lots of creativity and ideas, but when I put my hands to it, the skill just lacks and it's never as brilliant as I imagine it in my head.. I think you're saying something similar for yourself? Correct me if I'm wrong, though. I do think little Marvin is brilliant still! I already know you're very skilled and I think what you've done IS brilliant! I'm sorry he didn't sell for as much, but don't give up! You're bound to see success w/ your future customs! As for the postitive/negative, I DO hear what you're saying- 100%! I've found that too, that when I'm around positive, supporting people, it's easier to be *more* positive myself. Although at times, it can backfire, b/c I'm also a contradictory person - always playing devil's advocate... if you're positive, it can cause me to react negatively -- even if I agree! It's very strange, lol, my fiancee and I were talking about that the other day. I'm an odd one, though, no use trying to sum it all up in a couple lines, heh! And yes, I agree- I do think treating others as you'd like to be treated is the best path to take! ;D I do hope you're able to move on past cute-and-wonderful-but-not-as-successful-as-you'd-like Marvin and come up with another creative and brilliant custom! You've got all the support and encouragement you could ask for right here! (The people here are just GREAT!)
