that's cool!

Hello Grey Camel-
Yeah, you are right! How foolish of me to sham off this shoddy blend on the quilt. I'm going to work harder at my blending and I hope that you will see a noticable improvement in the tiles to come. It looks as if my last bag of herb
hasn't really done anything for me as far as sharpening my skills or my eyesight and I just might consider trying my next tile, absolutely straight!
Then again, maybe I won't...

Hm... For me blending is pretty good. I vote 5. I like this dragon.
Eddie, why are you thinking this tile is not so good??? Common! Change your mind! :) Your dragon is perfect!

It's a 4 because I grew up in a dysfunctional family and was never allowed the luxury of feeling valid or having merit. No matter how good I feel about any creation of mine, somehow it's just not good enough, not worthy of praise. Often, I season my own criticism of my work by viewing the tile in context of a fuller area, to see the tile bounded by it's finished neighbors. Besides, I'm a modest man and not in this race for the glory, just the tile by tile satisfaction of belonging to ice.etc. But I do appreciate your confidence in my ability and thank you for your uplifting comment! Eddie
