Anyway, he mentioned in the session one day that it was his birthday the next day; but that he wasn't sad at all (to be missing it and working instead) 'cause we were such a great class (and we were). I still thought that kinda sucked though, so I decided to give him an abstract pendant-style soapstone carving I had made as an impromptu birthday gift and souvenir of his visit to the north. I think he was genuinely touched; I mean, who ever bothers to think about the fly-by-night instructor, right? And I always have been somewhat of a teacher's pet... or, do you call that a suck-up? Lol. He thanked me, then peered at me very intensely, then said he had something, a file, on his laptop that he thought I might really, really like, that he would show/share with me after class.
UPDATE: Okay, so not that special now that I did a search on Google and see that the image is available all over the place. And in colour, too. But, he still brought my attention to it, and that's pretty special. And, I now know that it was banned in Italy and France but it apparently doesn't piss of americans as much 'cause they've been mocking the last supper left, right, and center. I still think it's pretty cool :)
It IS awesome... so beautiful! I love all the gorgeous skin! And, I have to say, all the pseudo last-suppers are beautifully done. Thanks for sharing!
