| 2009-11-24 | A.Castillo | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Dear Sara, Thank you once again for coming to the rescue and helping to make some sort of sense out of all these variables bouncing around in my head:) |
| 2009-11-23 | A.Castillo | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Dear Sara, Thank you again for the elaborate explanation. Your suggestions have been extremely helpful thus far. I thoroughly appreciate you and the service you provide! A :) |
| 2009-11-21 | A.Castillo | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Sara, Thank you so much for helping me to clarify in my mind how to go about this photo wall project. As I approach the planning of this project, it almost seems overwhelming at times, but you have helped me to see the light in how to go about it. You have even addressed some ideas in your response that I hadn't thought about. It is very apparent that your intention is to really help people accomplish their projects with the least amount of stress and a great sense of accomplishment. I really appreciate your help! Thanks again:), A |
| 2009-11-20 | Gina | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks so much Sara. I contacted Danny and he suggested that I mail the painting in. I really appreciate your thorough and thoughtful response to my question. |
| 2009-10-27 | irwin | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | You advice was very helpful,we are going to use picture light. Fran |
| 2009-09-22 | Lew | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Sara, Thank you for the excellent response. You provided exactly the info I needed, and were very clear (especially regarding the length of the screw). We'll try to secure it, too, as recommended. It will not go above the bed, either! Thank you again! |
| 2009-09-08 | Daphne | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for very helpful information. |
| 2009-08-30 | Cecy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Sara, you've given me some wonderful advice! It didn't occur to me to do the reverse bevel - ingenious! And after hearing the pros and cons (mostly cons) on the glass sandwich idea, I've come to the conclusion that I should stick with the tried and true matting and framing - or even framing the pastels as I would an oil painting - with a nice frame to enhance the pastel. Thanks so much for the advice and for getting back to me so quickly. Cecy |
