Of course, I vote for the fool, being one myself.

You know, I have been very moved, sadly so, by some current event. I think it would be appropriate to have Tibet as our theme.

I too would be interested in having a carved chop! I tried to make my own but apparently I am a better woodblock carver than I am a stone carver.

It was funny to read everyone's stories about people framing proofs and such. It's irksome to have people visit and they end up digging through my recycling bin and going "Why are you throwing these out? They're beautiful!" It doesn't do much good to explain to them that they are proofs and there are some inherant flaws. Once I arrived in my studio to find a stack of neatly uncrumpled proofs with a note from a friend saying "You can still use these." People are funny.

The Fool, in Tarot, according to Wikipedia:

"The Fool is the spirit in search of experience. He represents the mystical cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world."

I like the Fool. He shows our positive side.
