        "This wonderful sculpture is a completely accurate rendition of our precious Yummy finishing off the family brunch. Created from a photo, the depiction is entirely true to life and brings that special moment back in all it adorableness. Yummy was treasured and beloved by our family and it is truly delightful to think that perhaps she will be shared with the world on a beautiful card. We loved Yummy dearly and the sculpture is a family treasure. I hope everyone who sees it will enjoy it as much as our family does. Thank you again Missy for this amazing piece of artwork and for sharing it with the world"

With love and gratitude,

Tracy, the eldest daughter

    

                                                                                 Yummy, the family dog, had a ritual of stealing Sunday

                                                                                  brunch leftovers from the table!

                                                                                 This tribute was commissioned many years after her death

                                                                                 as a surprise gift for the family's patriarch and matriarch.

"I am the proud owner of three, count 'em three, original Kaolin pieces; The Prince of Park Avenue, Yummy at Sunday brunch and a bowl which defies description. Missy and Sandy are brilliant, creative, certifiably crazy geniuses, whose work reflects all of the above. They can also be serious and create a long slim, niche-worthy, perfectly matched, grape colored vase when absolutely required to do so. Our entire family has an on-going love affair with this silly and wonderful couple. I said it and I'm glad."

"I saw Merle's gift - FABULOUS!!!!! I couldn't believe how "Merle" looked just like herself and that you had gotten the Newark Museum logo just right. Loved seeing Paige's picture, too. Everything was perfect and I'm sure she was thrilled when she saw it. So happy our group didn't follow her "no gifts please" instructions.

Thanks again for making such an amazing gift. You two are incredible."

Warmly,

  "BTW the Thunderbolt continues to receive raves from our visitors. We do provide credit and kudos to the artists since no one would ever believe I created it. Damn! ...Our friends are admiring  our excellent taste in art. We of course agree. Stay in touch please, we are still talking about how much fun we had at the studio and meeting you both...
