You created a representation of The Spirit of Candy Corn which resides in the old wood forests of Philadelphia. She wears her colours differently as her mood or the seasons dictate and when people channel her they get whatever incarnation she is in at that moment. You caught her in her autumn phase, really lovely. That wood really is beautiful. Nick, dearest, you've got to start learning what wood you're working with so we can learn too. I say that with love and respect. Thanks for the video, Nick. ♥
