This is poiesis (poetry) -- that is, an action that transforms and continues the world. You are a true artist/poet.

Beautiful work Clair. The time and effort that goes into each of your designs, boggles the mind. I can only wish more artisans will get back to the creation process from it's purest form as you have. Bravo!
