John,

These pieces are wonderful! You do beautiful work, and I love that you are able to repurpose things, give them a new life… sort of like some of us have to do for ourselves, after being stricken with these "lovely" (not!) maladies, which tend to take us down a different path in life than maybe we had planned.

I hope you do find an outlet for them, if for no other reason than so that you can keep on making them. I can totally see how the process would be very therapeutic for you. Gets you out of your head, right? (A dangerous neighborhood, for some! ) Thanks so much for sharing the finished product with us.

Happy New Year!

Alison
