Thanks for the link!

I have had quite a bit of private email asking 
about the certification nomenclature.  What I 
meant was that I submitted the design as the final 
requirement for completing the online permaculture 
design course with Barking Frogs Permaculture, by 
which I earn a certificate of completion and 
"status" (if that is the right word) as an 
apprentice permaculturist.
