4. That's cool. It's a nice picture.
Of course, I can also see people critizing it, saying it has a "Dear Leader" Chairman Mao-esque vibe to it. Brainwashing those poor elementary school children. Feh. :dunce:

5. I love it!
Of course, thinking back a year or more -- what would Bush have had his pic made out of? Beer bottle caps, liquor labels, ideas anyone?

6. I just sent this to my Mom-
She is into beading in a BIG way.
I don't know how she does it.
78 years old and works with things the size of a grain of sand and uses only her glasses.
I can't even SEE half the stuff she strings together into works of art.
