Dragons du ciel? Not L'Academie du Beau Geste?

Salle George Pompidou? I guess that is not a "squatt" . . .

Giant origami tops! That's a nice idea!

Yeah, that statue can be the centerpiece of any spintop collection.

Wow!  Is that a double tipped top I see in the center of your table?  (The one with the string wound around it?)
Very nice Jim!  8)
I like Karine B's calligraphy screen too!  :)

Thanks for posting these.

I love the giant tops. It was a great idea!

I missed my festival this weekend (Texas Jugglefest) due to a combination of several in the house with flu and a work deadline. But I would love to bring next year a giant top that anybody could spin.
