Some girls dream of meeting Prince Charming, or Johnny Depp, or Justin Bieber, but for me its all about Rik Pierce! He has been my dream man for years now. For those of you who do not know, Rik builds scale miniature constructions of the type that make me swoon. No victorian dollhouses for Rik, he builds brick and stone houses both large and small, full of detail and character. I have been a fan for years and have been cutting out clippings from the mini magazines and squirelling them away for both inspiration and instruction, never thinking I would ever actually get to take one of his classes.
Finally this past October my dream came true and I got to spend a week in Lawrencevill Georgia attending a 5 day workshop with none other than my dream man himself! It was a wonderful experience from beining to end. I enjoyed Rik's company and his instruction and the other ladies in my class. I cannot think of a single thing about that week that was not just as I hoped it would be. It may not be a big deal to some people who because of geography or wealth can attend one of Rik's classes whenever they want, but for me it was. I told all of this to Rik, and that I would never forget our week together in Lawrenceville, and he told me the same...
