    Thanx for sharing your First On-Line Interview.
    I learned a lot about you.
    All very creative and informative.
    God is in the details too.

    I appreciate knowing you and having your friendship.
    You were fortunate to have a fine family and teachers too

  9. Hi Bobbi

    Kudos and blessings
    I must say as a kid growing up in Greenpoint ,Brooklyn-and playing in the streets I was struck by the art and year of what we called “manhole covers”-but unlike you I remained an amateur-a looker- we are each given gifts and talents to serve each for the glory of God
    Peace to you and Al

  12. Loved your interview, and I’m glad all turned out well. Critics make mistakes far more often that they would like to admit. I’m sure you derive much pleasure and a sense of accomplishment from your work, and simple joy in the creation of something beautiful. Congratulations!!!!!

  13. Bobbi…this is a terrific interview. I learned a great deal about manhole covers and it is very interesting. The one thing I couldn’t find was your “Power of Four” piece. I love the story about how you became inspired and your art teacher’s comments. It was great to prove him wrong.

    In marketing the key is to find a space that no one occupies and then you will be unique and not be competing with many others including “the so called best”.
    I think you have something special however the piece that may be missing is the story behind the covers (I didn’t realize how special they were until I read this piece).
    I think the more you get the story out and tell people that they were originally a piece of art with exceptional craftsmanship, the more they will realize how unique and “artful” your work is.
    Keep plugging and someday you will be famous…

  14. Dear Viewers regarding : Treasured Advice

    This is why I treasure my brother-in-law Ange Mastrangelo’s advice.
    Of course, I would probably appreciate his wisdom anyway,
    but his family is very proud of this honor he recenty achieved.

  15. Dear Bobbi,

    I read with great interest the interview you did with Mr. Edsill.
    Much of what you told him I already knew, but there were also some
    surprises. Your mention of your parents and sister brought back some
    wonderful memories of our youthful days.

    I miss you and Al and hope we can arrange a meeting soon.

  17. Hi Bobbi,
    Congratulations on your interview!!!!!! You must feel pleased about it. I learned more about your Art Life than I had known before.!!!!

    I do agree with your Brother-in-Law, Ange! I had not considered this as I know the background of the pieces that I have and I love telling to others what I know about your works. However, as I thought, I do know all of the info behind all of my art work here. They all have a story and I love explaining the meaning behind all of my art. I do have work from several artists and asked about the work when I purchased them since I did buy them from the artist. So Brother-in-Law has a point!!!!! I wish that I had thought about it!!!!!

    Your Web page has taken you so many directions!!! You must feel pleased with this exposure. I am pleased for you!!!!!

    ’til later,
    Marilyn

    Grate Job!

    So is everything going down there in retirement land?
    I am glad that you are not just sitting on that proverbial
    rocking chair. I have some non-rocking chair retirement plans also.

    I am about to open a bed and breadkfast at the house I have been living in.
    “Aunt Betty’s Bed and Breakfast” the sign will read,
    “clean and comfy not fancy schmancy”

    So let me know if you need lodging in the area. I am still open to barter…

    At your service.

    done with Bobbi art. it looks so nice, so just for that alone you need to stay here.

    At your service,
    Betty

  22. Dear Bobbi Mastrangelo,

    Thanks for letting us know about your great website! I love your artwork — it is beautifully textured and very original, and you appreciate manhole covers as much as they deserve! I hope I get a chance sometime to see it in person.
    May we add some info about you in our “Sewers in the Culture” section particularly. Would it be okay to post a small group of thumbnails and linked images to draw people in? I think they often go past our links unless I can put something to catch the eye. I would link each one to your website, and include a short bio taken from your website. You could make any changes to it you want.

  23. The interview was very well done and your new work is better than ever.
    Brett and Trish proudly keep your wedding gift piece hung in the hallway
    by their front door. We have one of your waterworks hung in our guest
    bathroom and another piece on the hallway bookshelves. They are a
    constant reminder of our friendship.

    We are eagerly looking forward to seeing you both again. Until then, we
    hope you are both in the best of health.

    Love,
    Lorraine

    I visited your web site earlier today and firstly wanted to
    congratulate you on the appearance, excellent content
    and accessibility I discovered there.
    It is not often I come across a web site that offers such a
    positive user experience and great information too.

    quality websites just like yours, for a current project on behalf
    of Majorskiphire.com. As you’ll see, this is based upon a similar
    theme to yours and does in my view, offer added value content
    for web site visitors.

    Now as a part of this promotional activity, I would very much
    like to have a link featured on your website. Should you be
    agreeable, please use the following details to add the
    project site to your links page.
