This is very nice , but since I curate for a few groups, I'd like to tell you that many here appreciate seeing "process photos". I know that this one is a couple years old, but maybe for any new work that you do, you can take photos along the way so we can all see not just the finished product. Plus, it always "proves" that it's your own work.
I found your post because featured you in his Pay it Forward Curation Contest entry; feel free to join us with an entry of your own next week if you'd like :)
