It occurred to me that this is a remarkable international effort. I'm not
sure, but I think that each of us working on this tribute is from a
different country. We are doing something that just a few years ago would
have been impossible. In celebration of that fact, I thought it would be
cool if each of us made an ornament that represents in some symbolic way the
country we're from. I made this one representing my country, the USA. I can
upload the .mdl file to the yahoo group if needed. Is anyone interested in
doing this? Even if you're not, I'm really curious, what country are you
from?

Indeed. We take it for granted somehow, that we can communicate by e-mail and
through the internet (I confess, I am having trouble writing with a pen
nowadays!!), this is however, very recent. I have been involved in international
research projects until about some five years ago, and even then not all
participants had an e-mail address. Often, the fastest mean was the fax!
So, yes, we may rightly celebrate this little feat!
OK. A wooden shoe it will be for me (Netherlands), although a pair of boots
would be better perhaps, living at five meters below sea level as I do!!

I'm from the UK. I live in England, London but I'm originally from Glasgow in
Scotland. As for something representing my nation I thought of a caber but I see
you're using one in the tree:-}
I'll try and come up with something if not a Union Flag on your Christmas ball.

My first thought for myself, was a wooden shoe, then I thought that THAT was a
little bit of a cliché. So my suggestion would be (to all of us) to find some
less obvious item, not directly pointing to our country/region, but that is
associated with it...
Oh well... I feel I am getting a little bit foggy. What I mean is, a painting
for instance, or the detail from a painting, something like that...
Thomas
PS Yes, a stinky cheese, I would like that! Especially the ones you cannot
travel with in public!!!

Or an empty/full Irn Bru bottle?
Scotland being one of the very few western countries where coca cola
isn't the best selling soft drink.

Once I traveled with my band to Perth (Scotland) with a Camembert (soft
cheese) that I choosed to be just mature after 2 days van travel.
Our horrified host watched us tasting with relish this yum-yum stuff but we
never got him tasting it.

I can imagine! And what about Munster? Excellent cheese, really, but you
need gloves to cut away the (soft) crust, otherwise your fingers keep
smelling....!

Well, in following the idea of Steve, I made a medallion (Steve's!) with a
painting by Vermeer: The view of Delft. IMO, it represents some of the
quintessential things of the Netherlands: skies, water, old stones (what's
left of them), painters...
I shall upload it presently.
