My craft, as many of you know, is woodturning. Often, at a show, someone will look at some grain pattern and say, "Oh, look...there's a cat...or dragon..etc...on the side of that piece."

When I make things, I try very hard NOT to see any pictures, as it affects my decisions about overall shaping, and if I tell someone what *I* see, and they don't, it affects decisions about buying it.. *grin*.
   Letting the customer see what THEY see is not only easier, but good business!

Once in awhile there is some obvious thing...usually involving knots looking like 2 eyes, and the surrounding grain resembling some sort of face...human OR animal.
