Oh Jane, thank you –
I did a bit of googling and found his portfolio!!! Some good

The portfolios ( his and his partner) are at the bottom of the page.
AND!!! Did anyone notice the Nov/Dec 2007 issue of Crafts Magazine?
The cover is

No more googling now -- need more coffee and some breakfast while I
look at this stuff.
