I love it when people fave my work. It’s their way of saying “good job.” Most people “fave and run,” which does not bother me, others fave and say something about it like “Nice coloring on her tail, (original Opal)” or “That is one amazing dress (Ethereal Queen).” One deviant in particular does not fave my works, but instead leaves some of the most heartwarming and generous comments of all, and to me, that is just as wonderful.

That deviant is

She started watching me right before I began my second set of Birthstone Mermaids, and she left sweet comments on each of them. That made the project worthwhile, and was the reason Aquamarine was dedicated to her, as well as the final set with all of Birthstone Mermaids together. She’s a wonderful critic, and I hope to find someone like her in the audiences whenever I have to present something.

So to thank her for those wonderful comments, I present to her this stamp to help her celebrate her birthday. I used her old avatar because it was cute, and it was a sign that another sweet message was in my inbox.

Happy Birthday, !
