you earned every word of praise you are bound to hear from everybody who sees it.
i think the way a block suddenly comes to life and reveals itself as better than we thought might be G-d's reward for all the tedious, chore-type ironing we have to do, too.
LOL
P.S. for anybody visiting this post thinking "well, why is that nasty old Patrice ignoring all those other beautiful blocks?", let me just ease your mind. we've been "ooooo"ing and "aaaaaaaaahhhh"ing over them in another thread. these are duplicates of the pictures from the other posts.
i'm just lazy. besides, i know everybody seeing them for the first time will appreciate them, too.
