The Raven by Cindy Shake
Let me introduce Cindy Shake of Artmaking in the North. Besides being a great metal sculptor, Cindy is one of the most generous people I know. Nine times out of ten if you read Cindy's blog she is lending a hand to other people. Not only that but Cindy is so supportive of other artists.
Then there's Cindy's family which she always has time for and her two dogs. But, wait a minute, there's also all the wonderful metal sculptures she makes. Each one is unique, some are whimsical, some are realistic, some are abstract, some are commissioned, and each and every one is a work of art and so creative. You can see more of Cindy's art at her website here.

The other day Cindy sent me an email and asked if she could send me some supplies she is no longer using. I said sure. Gary and I happened to go to the post office together today. Lucky thing. Gary came out of the post office with one big box and said, "Can you back up to the door?" He carried out four huge boxes that Cindy sent me. Yes, four boxes. I was so surprised, it brought tears to my eyes thinking of Cindy's generosity.

When we got home Gary and I had a little party opening up the boxes and looking at all the goodies. I am not sure how Cindy does all she does, but I am so happy to have met her via blogging. Thanks ever so much Cindy. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
there she goes being nice again!
