First, a little bit of Background …

thank you note

The BoldGrid theme (“Monument“) used for this WordPress website includes an Attributions page that was dynamically generated at website creation.  It self-updates when changes are made to the published images but only for those sourced via BoldGrid Connect, directly from the Media bucket interface.  That page lists the Author/Creator and the Creative Commons license status (if known), as pulled from the BoldGrid Media Connect database when that asset is assigned to a content page, as a way to share the website author’s appreciation for products used and service rendered.

In keeping with habits established long ago of giving credit where due when my work is made possible through the assistance or effort of others – and until the BoldGrid Development Team implements my “Special Thanks” feature request (thanks, Jesse!) – these are the people and companies who make my creative and technological endeavors possible.  They truly deserve full and everlasting appreciation for any products provided to me for use in concept creations &/or for their time and service(s) rendered in pursuit of my life-as-fairytale dreams.

Sharing appreciation for products used and service rendered

Little Notes of Personal Thanks

Master Chanticrow of Corporate-Slave Ltd., a gifted technomancer of unparalleled capability – I offer my eternal gratitude for the provision of website domain and hosting administrative services and his helpful advice and assistance on all technological matters.

Mistress Harrell (#ButifulDeath & #PrincessFrick), my dearest heart-sister, for reigniting my passion for yarn-work.  As a young child, I learned the heritage art of Crochet at the feet of my great-grandmother; Miranda reawakened the bug for it after way too many years away from my inherited hooks.

My Pattern Testers, for making me look good by making sure the How-To notes are right.

 

My Patrons, eternal gratitude for those effervescent souls lighting the universe as dedicated patrons of my creative output.
