    Excellent take on the challenge and I love the crispness of this piece, Marie! It's got quite a 'strict' feel to it... (if that makes sense?)

    Your lady has such a pensive look, I wonder what it is she wants to know when she fits that key in the lock. Beautiful Marie, and as always so beautifully crafted. Nothing less than exquisite.

    Marie, your piece is so beautiful it makes me sigh! And the quote is so right - I really hope all the (wo)men in this world could get such a key! Your work would make a wonderful poster in any library and bookstore.

    Oh Marie, this piece is very beautiful in its design and in its message. It is something that I firmly believe. I agree with Eila...we could hang this in our library with pride.

    I love the quote and the color combo in this. If I could give one thing to everyone in the world it would be the ability to read. With this you can do anything!
