Thank you very kindly for the compliments 👍

The lady I made it for, the daughter that lost her mom, works at our local power company office, and I had already made her name Nancy out of coathanger a month or two ago, and she already loved that. Half the time I don't even get to meet the people I make these for though, usually it's someone else requesting these from me at $5 a letter, meant as holiday or birthday gifts.

I had actually never met Nancy until today, but I heard through the grapevine that she recently lost her mother, so I figured I'd surprise her myself by asking back up through the same grapevine how to spell her mother's name and make this for her, free of charge, out of respect.

She was initially dumbfounded to finally meet me, and she damn near broke down crying when I gave it to her more or less gift-wrapped.

It took me right at almost exactly an hour to bend out, then another 20 minutes of paint drying time, then another 20 minutes to deliver it to her.

As much as I could use every extra $$$ I can earn, I still have a heart ya know. This one's on the house...

What did you call my mother??!!??😡
