@Florence @gemswinc Yes, though I'm pretty sure Martha Stewart (among others) has taught how to use potatoes and paint in order to make one's own wrapping paper. πŸ˜‚

The seller felt it important that any she sells go to a "good home" with someone who understands what they need (vs someone who wants to "upcycle" it). She kinda pre-screened me first. πŸ˜‚

@CinnamonGirlE @Florence I have seen sheet rockers that are artists, a circular brick patio built by an artist, my dad using a micrometer to calculate shim thickness for shim / bucket valvetrains as an artist too.

@Agatha I agree totally. And you're also literally touching history. xxxx
