  1. Hi Jessica! Just saw a pix from my website (www.dingdingpals.com). The pix of Magdalena Abakanowicz's art - BACK. Nice, though thought you would credit my site as the source of the pix. I actually took the photo during a visit to her exhibition in Krakow, Poland, (http://bit.ly/fDUvk0) last year July. Anyway, you've got nice 3D collections. Take care.
