Hello everyone!

How are you? Are you doing well?  I sure hope that you are!   Well, I finally did it!   I took the plunge and decided to create a Patreon page after all!

www.patreon.com/Yamigirl21?ty=…

I have to say that I'm a little nervous about this....  Though I've always *always* appreciated favorites, comments, critiques, and most of all your absolutely *incredible* support, I always wondered if I could *really* do art work that could be promoted professionally...  As many of you know, I have many doubts in my abilities, and I have always been concerned about my slower artistic process with my traditional mediums; despite my desire to stick with them!  In addition, with real life also limiting the time and energy that I could spend on my craft, I questioned if I could *ever* do more than what I have been doing with my work, especially as I grow older...  But then I thought, why not give it a try?  The purpose of Patreon is to generate support in your craft, to further connect with those who could lend a hand in helping you acheive your dreams! Right?   That's how I would like to see it, anyhow, and I still hope to someday be able to do MORE with my work, and to gain a sense of accomplishment with the art that I create, at long last! And so here I am!

Please keep in mind that I still fully intend to post my artwork here on Devianart TOO of course!  So don't worry about that, if you decide against supporting me in terms of monetary funds!  I would be *eternally* grateful, however, as you would be the first to view these works, before they are posted on Deviantart, or even Facebook!  I also hope to have other small incentitives for supporting me there!   I have a few there now already, but I hope to add even more, as I continue on.  I'm still learning to navigate the site at the moment, and I also need to give more thought to what I could offer that would please all of you.   It's a process, I suppose!

But no matter what, I will STILL be active on both sites, and I will be grateful for ANY type of support that I am given!  As I mentioned here before, and as I mentioned on Patreon as well even, your *encouragement* is what truly drives me, helping me break through my barriers of doubt and uncertainity which I contend with often!   However, when I read all of your wonderful comments, I am reminded WHY I want to continue creating art, to make myself and all of you happy, if I can! ^_^  I am thankful for that every single day, and that won't change no matter what happens!!   Thank you again, and please at least visit my Patreon page as seen in the link above!  It would mean the world to me!  Thank you for even *considering* becoming my Patreon and once more I thank each and every one of you!  Take care now!

Lots of love,
Yamigirl21
