>Back on the days when I was motivated to be creative (I used to paint, batik, sculpt, etc when younger) I did some walls that way. Now I just enjoy the works of others! Your wife is talented. Has she ever considered flower painting or batik?

We keep our sliced fruit for the salads in a big glass jar in the fridge, and it has flowers all over. Actually, it was the next picture after that one.

And she did batik for a while in the early nineties, made some nice silk handkerchiefs and sold them through a local boutique (speled "butik" in Serbian :). She "lost interest" when she ran out of silk from her 1990 trip to China. Pretty soon after that she took to acupuncture, then to welding, then... and now I have to rework her website to accommodate downloadable patterns for knitting, crochet, and above all for embroidery machines.
