Wow, you should be proud indeed, and so should your students! I especially like the kaleidoscope, it is so artistically and precisely pieced together... I never would have thought that fabric would be something I'd like, but the effect is stunning. But they are all gorgeous. I have bought your book and found it very useful. Thank you for making your expertise available to people who do not study this professionally, like me! I am just finishing my second parasol, using modern frames for now and adding vintage/antique handles, next time maybe I will be brave enough to use a vintage or antique frame. I am finding out the hard way the "costume" parasols I bought to "train myself" on are poor quality indeed, the catch spring on the first is already not working after just finishing it! The bottom part of the spring pops out instead of the top part, as it should. Is there a way to fix or replace that? I'm thinking strong epoxy glue...
