My old geometry teacher (Ms. Hamlet) must be laughing at us from the great beyond..she would say just pick up your compass...

Since I exhaust to the world, there is no filter. DCIMG_1527.JPG This shows the upper assembly blocked up wi...

Beautiful, Paul. Didn't you make some trays with a similar theme, also?

Angie
