They look so perfect! The holes in the plique piece kind of freak me out, but I'm weird that way...plus I know it's not done. You get everything so perfect, it's amazing.

There are now no holes in the plique. :) Despite its best efforts!

I really hope to get it done in time for J to get a few good picturesof it DONE- I'm going to put a price on it for the show, so I might not see it again. That's a tricly thing, since they're getting 40% of the price.. but at least they're insuring it etc. so I'm not as reluctant as I was with the craft center's asking 40% and offering pretty much nothing in exchange! I'm probably going to list it for someplace between $400-500, so get $240-300 i it sells. Which it probably won't, but i don't want to count on that!
