My favorite quote is from Henry Van Dyke "Use the talents that you possess, for the woods would be silent if only the best birds sang." How true and how inspirational! Everyone possesses talents. We all have gifts to give and nothing should stop us from expressing those gifts whether it's art, music, writing, dancing, singing etc. etc... Maybe you want to be a chef! Whatever it is, you need to express yourself and revel in the joy of sharing those talents.

Ahhh...what a great quote, my dear. I'd like to share a quote a friend wrote to me yesterday "The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." (Anais Nin).
Would love to win this soooo I'm tosssing my name into the give away hat!
Hi Bilie..I love how your work is never production but each a true and authentic piece of soul. Each with a story to be re-told but also allowing it to be re-written. Each piece speaking through some gleaned relic and purposfully proped or burnished to spark our nostlgia or our hope or our wishfullness. Thanks.
Great quote, Bille, and gorgeous art! I mentioned you on my facebook page as well!

I love your work; I saw it at the Mercantile and was enchanted. The quote is wonderful and the bird/ee theme so appropriate about everyone having something they can sit on (develop) and hatch (create). I do collage and I am very inspired by what you do.
I meant egg (not ee)
I would love to win your wonderful giveaway! I am new to your blog, and I like what I see. Thank You!
My multi talented, beautiful friend, what a generous gift ... that is so very typical of wonderful YOU!

Will add my compliments to all those that have prefaced this one, but suspect Australian Customs would end up the recipients of this were I to be chosen, given the 'animal' origins of some of the totems :-( Best of luck to the winner :-)
Beautiful! My goal this year is to be more brave about sharing my talents. Your beautiful piece of art reminds me to do so.
Hugs and best wishes,
Fritzi Marie
