My first though was "sweet, I'm going to cast that" and I did. It worked out great! Even the inside came out A LOT better than I expected. It was shown at Arts West 05, and Lorie Schackmann wore it on her opening (fall 04) at Circa Gallery. circagallery.org <br/> Sat, 18 Jun 2005 15:01:11 GMT Andrew Thomas
