I had all this great work by lots of wonderful artists but the gremlins of chaos seemed to be everywhere and with everyone the last few months. I had initially felt obligated to get kind of crazy with the bling since it&#8217;s the Shimmer &amp; Shine issue but there were many last minute changes and getting high quality, high resolution images at the 11th hour is tough. So we went with a personal favorite artist of mine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Nicole-West-Fantasy-Art\/216260866890\" target=\"_blank\">Nicole West <\/a>(and hopefully soon to be one of yours if you haven&#8217;t yet seen her work) and her gorgeous Alice in Wonderland inspired sculpture which certainly shines! Nicole is sharing her work in the Mentor Gallery for this issue.
