  Thanks, John... it is a setup I want to explore further---gotta get more of that giftwrap though, for a bigger surface to play with.

  Thanks, Susan! The softly-undulating form of this particular shaker makes really interesting distortions in the reflection; more so than my older shakers, which tend to be basically cylindrical. Still cause for distortion, but not so wild as this!
