No, I think it is mystic, the act of creation. I think it's a shame that we don't honor work of this kind more--and I think we see the consequences in our lack of value for food, craftsmanship, and the people who do the hard work of building.

I have a few pictures, despite the technical difficulties of photographing myself at work ^_^, but they aren't quite this excellent. Maybe when I get some of the jewelers here I'll post that, too...
