"I'll bring it the next time, I tried taking a photo but its so subtle that its hard to notice. It bled a little because of the complexity but overall very happy."

"Jeetu, I heard that your vase was beautiful! Please bring it to the next meeting so I have a chance to see it. Also, if you can send a digital photo - I'll post it to the meetup site!"
