[Aquanet] November critique

[Monica L Laird]

Hey, Virginia,

Wow...you got guts, girl! Figures in themselves really intimidate 
me....groups of them I've never even tried! Congratulations.

I'm hosting Robert Liberace (www.robertliberace.com)  for a workshop down 
here in the Caribbean in January. Since he's such a master of the figure, 
maybe after the class I'll be ready and as courageous as you to tackle a 
group.

Keep it up!

Monica
