Re: Update on Rowan and pictures of his helmet too!

[Guest guest]

Hi Alpana:

Awww, he's sooo happy! What a cute little guy. Great job painting

it, very very cute!

I'm so happy to hear how well he's doing in the band. Hopefully,

he'll be out of it soon w/a rounder head.

is being a huge pain right now about pictures. If you want

some deleted, let know which ones & I'm sure she'll take care

of em for you.

Alpana,

Rowan is a doll and looks so adorable in his band. I love how you

decorated it. Glad to hear is has adjusted so well. Keep us posted on

his progress.

Alpana,

I just took a look at Rowan in his helmet - he is a very handsome

guy! His helmet looks gorgeous. You did an outstanding job! Do

you have an art background? How did you choose that design?

Recently we had a group member go through the archives and try and

collect helmet/band decorating tips from past posts. She posted the

decorating tips in the FILES/DECORATING TIPS folder. Would you mind

taking a look at the document and seeing if you have any new info

you would like to add from your painting experience? Let us know,

your painting job looks wonderful.

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

Thanks all for checking out Rowan in his new helmet and your compliments on him.

Christie, I'll check out the folder and see if there is anything I can add. you guessed right i have an art background- a BFA in graphic design. I have been more of a conceptual visual designer and design websites. iI used Otto Seybold's book for inspiration- it is called Penguin Dreams. He has a bunch of really cool children's books that I have been collecting including Mr. Lunch takes a plane ride.

thanks again,

alpana
