Can you imagine how long it took to make this?

That's pretty amazing. And there are worse hobbies.

Doing it would personally drive me batty.

I think it's pretty cool.

I guess I look at it as this - I would rather see someone do something like this maybe to help stay calm, relax etc than be out drinking and driving!

Thanks for this!

Interesting! Looks like a good hobby too!
I just read the J.K. Rowlings new book...the one about the Bedel, or something...she is only having 7 copies printed, which will be auctioned. This book is a spinoff from the Potter books....strange, huh!

I saw him or someone like him on TV; he's a "professional" and makes zillions of dollars making one-of-a-kind items like that for people.

It looks really beautiful, good for him. I wish I had the talent to do something like that. It reminds me of those huge sandcastles that people build on one of the beaches where I live - every year there's a competition.
