What exactly are “pretty fibers”. Also this looks like it’s made with glitter glue and paper and plastic crap. Why spend $8 on that?

Let’s be fair. She obviously ran out of room and sacrificed some letters to keep her couplet a couplet. I mean, who gets inspired by three lines of prose? By the end of the second line, most people have lost interest. I’m sure most of you stopped reading THIS a couple lines back…

ROFL – She might have spelled everything correctly. Ability and Charter are both mental health support agencies. Ability teaches skills to the mentally disabled, so they can get new jobs. And Charter is a mental health clinic for serious mental issues.:) Could be expressing something very near and dear to her heart?

I was thinking of Charter as in the erstwhile, late 1990s inpatient mental health facilities. You remember the commercials: “If you don’t get help at Charter, please, get help somewhere!”

Also, in the artist’s universe, “top-quality materials” seems to be a cipher for the sludge that’s been kicked under the shelves on the Wal*Mart clearance aisle.
