Bidding Christine! a Fond Farewell...

A happy departure from Halfland for a change, yay! Our wonderful friend Christine! and her uber talented husband, and brand-spanking-new bebe toddler are pulling up stakes from LA for the time being, following fantastic job opportunities in other parts of the country, including New York. New York!

Christine! has been of invaluable help here in the new Halfland. At a time when I was not yet well, she appeared like an angel, to help build the new sky and get things underway once again.

She even made an extraordinary start at making the Queen Bee puppet, seen in progress above. Christine!, as a fine artist, was in the process of creating a fine art piece of a character, with hand painted yellow and black fin bodies and delicate cutout kirigami wings.

As a great mom, Christine! has been a wee bit busier than before the little one arrived. But we've stayed in touch and plan to continue working together on design projects as we can.

Christine! Thank you for reaching out to me from the Times article. Thank you for bringing your extensive artistic street-cred to bear on Halfland. Thank you for coming over so much and helping me work through my challenges with your trademark sensitivity and positivity.

You are a blessing in my life and I am wishing for you every moment of your life to be a joy. Only joy for you. Only Every Joy.
