If I'd numbered all the Dunnys, for example, then it'd have skewed it too much in one direction.<BR/><BR/>I have friends who are art collectors who keep our toys behind glass.<BR/><BR/>And, I have friends whose kids play with our toys. they keep them in big piles and they get totally messed up, as kids toys should.<BR/><BR/>What I wonder is, if I'd numbered the toys, would kids still get to play with them?<BR/><BR/>I'll reconsider numbering; and, I just don't want the pieces to become JUST art.Paul Budnitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02536495592224682360noreply@blogger.com
