Saint Mary's Basilica - Krakow Square

This is the church where Pope John Paul II was parish priest.  It's very ornate and beautiful.  The ceilings vault to the sky.  Instead of bells, there is a trumpeter who goes up to the tower and plays during the day.

Wine Stoppers

We received these cute little wine stoppers at Stephanie and Maxim's wedding last month.  They're so much better than Jordan almonds and practical too!

Almost A Bunch

I am almost done with the first bunch of grapes.  There are a couple more to go, then I can work on the next leaf.

Filling In The Diamond

I am well on my way on the second egg now.  The filling is coming along nicely.

The Lecture Hall

The photos in this set are from the lecture hall - a very uncomfortable place with very high backed seats and defined spaces.  It has a lot of beautiful art in it, but does not have a chalkboard!  Lecturers read from the front while students listened and scribbled notes.

Wedding Gift

I finished this into a door hanger as a wedding shower gift for a USAID friend who's now married.  She loved the saying and the whole thing.  I think it came out pretty nice.


The Two Towers

First tower done, second tower coming into being.
