You know I enjoy reading your posts! And the surprise didn't hurt either~

I'm amazed at the concept of having crafty parents. Mine are artistically talented, but not particularly inclined, if that makes any sense? I wish I could see more of their work.

Does your father play the lute too? This reminds me of Jozef van Wissem, a talented Dutch musician I like, who happens to play the lute. :)

What shapes are you planning on working next?
