Now that the base was bigger, I needed more slate to cover it so off I went to Ceramic Decor to buy twenty more tiles. While there I asked if they would be interested in sponsoring the project. I'm willing to cover all costs for the sculpture but with the slate supplies around two hundred dollars, any help would be appreciated. They handed me a business card for Angle Inglis, their Retail Operations Manger who wasn't there at the time and and suggested that I follow up with her. Later I sent an email to Angel explaining the Paper Bag Princess sculpture and within minutes after pressing the send button my phone rang. It was Angel saying that Ceramic Decor would be happy to contribute the tiles plus supplies. She too was a Robert Munsch fan plus Ceramic Decor had done work for him in the past and they were very willing to participate in this tribute.
When I stopped by to drop off ten tiles needing cut and to pick up free glue and grout, Angle refunded my previous costs for slate tiles. Thanks! I left the scale model of the sculpture at Ceramic Decor for a few weeks for them to display and receive credit for their contribution. It has been wonderful to have Ceramic Decor step up and help with this tribute.
