    Wow, Gerry - THANK YOU! My goodness, blush, blush, toe-curl and all
    that! 

    BUT I really have to say, for me, the design starts with the stones.
    And your stones are utterly gorgeous and make the design so easy. 
    Really - I'm not kidding. As a stone-cutter I know how hard it is.
    Your stones dance about in my creative-brain-hours (who knows when
    THAT is - driving, sleeping, walking with the dog, even during
    insomniatic bouts!) and emerge as ideas I just have to create. 

    There are people who look at rocks and say "It's a rock." And there
    are those who look at rocks and say, "There's a piece of art in
    there" and they find it and are gracious enough to present it to the
    rest of us. 

Thank you!
