Great photo, Scott. Although seeing it in person was just magical. It really looks like it is just crawling along.. a bug made of sapphires!

@Dauvit....Thanks, Dauvit! I take it you are familiar with the film...my brother and I used to get scared silly when we were just little guys.....my mom forbade us from watching it......(but we did anyway!) If you ever get a surplus of any nice stones....I have a ton (relatively speaking) of these sapphires.....we could trade!

@Brigitte....Thank you so much! Can I post renderings? If not, take a look at these two I just posted on Flickr.....your husband might be amused by the second one.

I'll pass this on to Scott :-)
My husband plays the trombone, he likes this piece too.

Brilliant! This made me laugh! The sapphires are particularly lovely.
