RTGK Contest - a wee bit more!

Von in toque
Just wanted to give a nod to [info]charlotte2004jd, the winner of my little road to god knows... contest. As it turns out, she used her own first name for the winning guess. A few of you did, but in her case her name was the right name.

[info]charlotte2004jd lives in New Zealand, so it's kinda neat that some of my art will be winging it's way down that far from here. The drawback is that it'll take a little while to get there. Ah - the ol' slow boat! She's also co-owner of a bookshop in the Whangarei (y'know, I have no idea how to pronounce that) area of New Zealand. If you happen to be in that area, please do drop by and say "hi."

So wish her a big congrats for a good guess and a very lovely first name! :)

That's so great!

Whangarei (y'know, I have no idea how to pronounce that)

My guess would be wan-GAH-ray. But now I'm all curious!!! TO WIKIPEDIA!

Hey, I said Judith! It's what I meant when I said Juniper and Jasmine. Those both mean Judith. Really! This isn't fair.

Apologies for having taken so long to thank you in public,but from the bottom of my heart a very big "Thank You".As I have commented to you privately,RTGK has touched me in a very personal way,and to win this competition really took the cake.Don't ever give up drawing and writing.If you can touch other people the way you have touched me ,you have a big future in front of you.
Incidentally,it is freezing here today.For a subtropical climate,someone haas got their wires crossed.
P.S. Pronunciation of Whangarei,for those who are PC --
Fung a ray.
For those like me,who have lived here 90%of their life and aren't terribly PC,we just say Wan gah ray, just as Idragoon said.

Have a happy day.

Aw, you're a sweetie. Drawing and writing is something I love doing and I hope I'm getting better at it all the time. It's not easy (though I don't think that anything that has any value ever is) and I can only hope that I can make a solid living at it. Part of the equation is putting the effort in. Then it's seeing (hoping!) if there's a market for one's work. That and just trying to enjoy the process.

Now, my terrible admission is that I haven't shipped out the framed print yet. I was hoping it would go out last week but it'll be tomorrow instead. I wound up having a lot to do and I didn't get a chance to get down to the post office. But that'll happen tomorrow. Sorry!
