I especially like the magnifying glass look and the extra stem creates a more interesting composition, thanks for the "Well done".

That's incredible. AT first I thought it might be first nation weaving, but to find out that it is actually a grass! wow!

Thanks for sharing your thought of this being a "first nation weaving." I will never look at this without thinking exactly that and isn't this what makes ViewBug so much fun!

You have made my head fill with such pride that I can hardly hold it up to see what I'm typing. Thinking when I count my blessings today that for sure I will count you twice (^_^). My wife says it is her favorite photo.
