I picked the main <http://canid.com/pics/jbm_playtable1.jpg> 'cos I was
trying to do a similar one that I did a few months ago, week 4/alt 4
<http://canid.com/pics/jbm_saucer_above3.jpg>.  Going for that square image
because it fits so nicely on my computer monitor.  :)  But now that I've had
a day to look at them, I really like the one where she's holding the block
aloft.  "Behold, the Block Queen" is what I call it.  :)

Week 20 main--The Conductor--is my favorite of the bunch.   :)

Thanks.  I wasn't sure about that one myself at first, but it sort of grew
on me.  The "Block Queen" one from above also has a slight tilt that I
decided to leave alone because that grew on me, too.  :)
