[amayausers] Re: design on caps

Rod,
You did not offend me in anyway.  Hats seem to be my problem though and I 
definetly want my work to be perfect. I need to learn more and am hoping to 
go back to LA for that week long class. In January we had only 4 days, and 
one look at the amaya and I was intimidated.
