Wow LIB! Soooooo, can you tell us how the process went?
Part II – The Mingling of Ideas
Once my rings were done and my eyes finally beheld their effulgence, I looked at the world through "Van Craeynest" colored glasses. From talking with Larry I just picked up a new way of thinking. I was folding an origami orchid one day and found that it looked kind of like a heart. I added pleats to make the leaves stand out more and then drew a sketch of it to look like a heart. I drew a frame around the outside with some scrolls too. It actually started to look like a piece of jewelry at that time. I had also just seen The Illusionist and was obsessed with the heart locket from that movie. I even called and asked VC if he thought such a locket could be constructed. It was all very silly and I am probably the craziest customer Van Craeynest has ever had
I really wanted to send a thank you card and a gift, but not knowing Larry except for talking on the phone, I had no idea what gift to send. San Francisco has everything the middle of nowhere doesn’t have
