So here is the thinking that has to be done. These replacement limbs are really high technology - really bionic. You can cover such a limb with a cosmetic covering that looks like its partner limb (or so they say), or you can simply leave it looking bionic. The cosmetic covering does not come off the high technology components; it becomes part of the package. You can get a cosmetic covering for the foot - and you need that to wear shoes - or you can get the covering for the whole thing. My current sense is that if you have a bionic part - you should show it off - not cover it up. So, my leaning is to leave this wonderful titanium body part uncovered, uncosmetized. (How do you like that word?) Mostly it won't show because I wear long pants in my daily existence. But I would get to see it as it really is and I would get to show it off now and then.
As I'm working through things, I'm not quite sure that I am finished with this one.
And that quilt I went to work on last nite - and will get back to for a little bit right now. Tried three times before I got one small piece right. And I have do do thirty-six pieces exactly like it. It's complex. I suspect that's why the call the class a "master class".
Will take grandchildren (some of them) to the movies for the 11:3o am show. Off to see Tim Burton's version of Alice
