>     Wow, where did this thread go?? 

    My implying that we are a totally different audience (within Orchid)
    was not a mistake, Orchid is open to the public. Lack of wording on
    my part, rushed response. But I do think the majority of Orchidians
    are makers and not a majority of consumers. Still, the book appeals
    to everyone - it is on my coffee table - but the readers (here
    anyway) see what their looking for or what they understand. Every
    time I open it my mind is seeking something new whether it be cold
    connections to just plain discovery, but right now I'm in a technical
    frame of mind. In that sense it's new browsing every time; it can't
    all be absorbed in one sitting. My 8 y/o loves the label rings and
    hates page 115. She thinks the pets look trapped so doesn't open that
    page (TG). And about those fuzzy rings. Bravo to that artist! Isn't
    that the point? To be the ring that sticks in my mind after glancing
    at 1000? 

    By human nature, I'm most awestruck by the things I haven't done or
    cannot do; like sing an aria or break a marathon tape without
    bursting in from the side and getting arrested. I absolutely love
    anything that makes me pause and ask, "How'd they do that?" or
    anything that shows a sign of being handmade, handforged. I suprised
    myself last week at being so excited to find a street sweeper
    bristle, holding a world of potential in my hand. 

    The pages in this book that I'm awestruck by aRe: 68, 72, 124, 153,
    185, 207, I could go on...and the next train of thought will bring
    about a new list of pages. What I got most out of this book?
    Permission.

    BTW, Giotto di Bondone won his first commission by painting a simple
    red dot. Look see where that confidence took him.
