    Good for you! yes

    I wish... I could say I like his work, but I don't, I am very color sensitive, too much so, and all the different patterns and colors.. actually make me ill...

    ooooh! Thanks for telling me about this! I adore Klimt! Art and poetry, oh, my two great loves! I will sit and contemplate this! Good thing I have 10 days! Perhaps I shall enter...

    I have not done a contest in probably 3 years. LOL

    soooo, perhaps it's time, eh?

    Thanks for the Klimt images -- always so full of rushing anticipation, goldness, and tempting sparkle. Enjoyed all the poems. Wishing to be a Klimpt image and poem.

    This is a great idea for a contest. I remember the one you had for Danae, but I forgot to enter, so I'm glad I caught this one. Hope it goes well for you :]
