Okay, I've got my pieces. Each one is resting on the little piece of paper from the puzzle piece that was used to cut it. So but, now they are all cut so I can kind of look at the little cartoon sketch I did to remind me how they all go together. And just kind of briefly, just kind of start laying it out and seeing what it is going to look like. And you look at these and you see that, you can still see kind of the Sharpie marks on it, it is really not that big of a deal because you can wipe those off later with alcohol or glass cleaner or something like that. So don't worry if you see Sharpie marks because it is all going to clean up nice in the end. You can kind of start laying it out and see what it is going to look like. I'm using, again I am using my pattern to do this. Let's see, where is my seven and my eight? Remember you want to use the same pieces going in as you used when you cut the pattern apart. You really can't just throw them together any way because certainly at this stage, now my pieces are definitely, have slightly different shapes, slightly different sizes. There is really going to be only one good way that they go together. So, I am kind of starting to find what that way is here by using my pieces. Let's see, here is my nine and my ten. You can kind of start, this is really exciting, you start to get a sense of what your final little project is going to look like. And then of course, my little gemstone is going to go right there. That is going to look kind of neat. So I am just going to keep doing this and then once we know where all the pieces go we are going to foil the edges and go on from there.
