I am a wee bit overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of Scott's artistry - and by all of your wonderful comments and observations. I will be posting more detailed comments and "action" shots once the parcel arrives.

In some ways, I am sorry that the creative process is concluded. I had so much fun working with Scott that I already miss the regularity of our conversations. I have developed a very deep and abiding respect for him as a person and as an artisan. I deliberately refer to him as The Artificer with a capital T, because in my view, he has no equal in his field.

I'm looking forward to sharing experiences with such an august group of like-minded people.

Welcome aboard! I think you'll find the rabble to be a very good bunch.

I very much enjoyed this process as well- the back and forth evolution of all the
details was a treat. And it is a rare opportunity to get to craft something new to Highland wear, but still rooted in classic proportions.

I can't wait to see action shots! As I've said before, the only real downside to doing nearly all of my business internationally is that almost never get to deliver the finished pieces in person,
and, especially if it's going to a non-XMarker, sometimes don't ever get to see them worn.
