I truly appreciate all your comments.  Everyone here is fortunate to have talents and abilities that we all see and, quite honestly, learn from.  While I love my time in the shop, sharing the outcome and hopefully getting someone to either be inspired to try something new or  learn a new technique is my greatest reward.  While we  all have never met, we have become friends and in some small way, a family of artisans.  That is freakin' neat!!!!!    Take care.
