What people have said about my heritage paddle designs

You are an amazingly talented and gifted artist. I can't believe my good fortune in finding you. It's been such a delight to collaborate with you. Tom's paddle will be treasured forever! Tom has often said his paddle is his favorite gift ever. We show it to all and it is a wonderful memento at our cottage.

Thank you for being so much a part of this canoe! You helped put the metal bands on the form and you made my dream of having an iris on the deck come true!

I just want you to hear, once more, how wonderful the paddle is that you made for Marianne. The tale it tells will carry her many miles on many trips no doubt. It really is a marvelous piece. I thank you for making it so special.

Dot, the presentation went very well. Jessica and Al were extremely happy with the
paddles; I just hope that they will use them now (they were so in awe they
wanted to hang them on the wall!). Thanks for all your help.

Dot you really out did yourself. The paddle is absolutely beautiful - its gorgeous. I love it. It's a perfect gift for Hans. It is really stunning -we all sat around and admired it tonight. You have quite an artistic gift Dot. (Roger)
Roger has just left for England. He is so thrilled to have the paddle with him to present to our friend on this special occasion. I cannot tell you how excited he was to receive it yesterday. It is amazing; we could not stop admiring this work of art. Thank you so much for making the effort to do this for him. (Susan)

We returned from summer vacation last night and wanted to get a note off to you respecting the paddles. They were great and exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for working with my sister Edith, she really enjoyed meeting you over the phone, and was impressed with the passion you have for your craft. I received a note from the bride and groom. They thoroughly the gift, and will treasure them always. Thanks again, and may talk to you in the New Year about some paddles for myself.

Hi Dot and thanks again for the very nice paddle you did. It is perfect. Not
too overwhelming but classy. Dave will love it.

re: Nahanni paddle design: it's absolutely beautiful. It's amazing to see what those
little sketches you were doing at the canoe show turned into. I really liked the
way you let the grain of the wood form the falling water. Great work Dot.

I picked up the paddle today. It is magnificent. Dot did a superb job. The paddle far exceeded my expectations and I [and a few generations to follow] will cherish it. Many thanks.

Paddles are on their way... Jacques and Danielle were thrilled with the paddles - me too! They kept saying we couldn't use them and I had to convince them that they are made to be used! We showed them to everyone who came to the house over the holidays and that was a LOT of people!!
