A journalist from a web tv came on my stand asking if i could "re- arrange" my whole collection.. and started saying i should have done different colours, different materials.......ive started to tell myself at this very first moment " who is this very strange sir" .. then he looked at me, and said "im kidding".....
oh ok i see..he was nice though..
Also, ive met some of the others winners, very nice indeed.. We knew we were very gifted! "the gifted gang" ;-)

I've met a lady from Philadelphia who has a nice shop there, we talked a lot, and
she pre-ordered...we'll see.
And i met the people from Delkographik studio/gallerie & shop in Rennes, i was happy they bought some pieces of my collection as they said they had a good feeling, and they usually order pieces from designers they only feel. I’ve felt "once again" gifted.
