Thanks prozac. The handy thing about the coasters is that they make nice gifts, and it's a way of using up all the spare kumiko - quite a few extra kumiko have to be cut because of the inevitable breaks when cutting/fitting.
This weekend the College has its graduation displays, and mine are now hanging safely on the wall.

Excellent work. Re comments from Alex I would suggest you have the credibility to start on the teaching already, simply by reference to what you have completed.
Sturt has one week courses, both in Winter and Summer Student numbers for each course are usually fairly small which would mean it would not be too threatening for a teacher. The contact is Head of Sturt : Megan Patey [email protected] They are likely to be putting together the program for Summer 2010 right now. Don't wish to sound pushy but that is only because I am & would be a definite starter and you can quote me on that

Seeing the screens together makes more sense to me now. Absolutely exquisite work.

Thanks Basilg, prozac, Anthony and artme.
Have a 30 minute presentation of my report tomorrow followed by some questions from the teaching staff, and that's it . It's all over
Then it's off to Kyoto with the other postgrad students and the first years for a few days to do some "research". One of the carpenter toryo (master carpenter) wants to do some serious drinking during the trip, and far be from me to go against an instructor's wishes
Graduation ceremony on 21st, then back to the sunny warmth of the Gold Coast.
Thanks all for the comments
Regards

I am envious of your trip to Kyoto & the fun I am sure you will be having drinking o'cha ( or is some other fluid involved ! )
During my last trip I was taken for a day trip to Kyoto by the firm I was working for. It was a good day, but the chap who was in charge started to get a bit annoyed with this henna gaijin who kept disrupting his all important schedule by wandering off in total oblivion to all except the woodwork. I am pleased to say I managed to make up over more that a few sakes & he took me to a tool shop from heaven the next day!!
Have a great time, & don't misbehave too much!!
