    Hello All, Iv'e enjoyed all the sharing of ideas, processes for
    several months now, but have not posted till now...This has been an
    interesting subject, running the gamut from A to Z, ...My addition to
    these thoughts is that what we do, whether a fledgling beginner or
    someone who has been at the bench for many years, is Process,...a
    journey of self discovery by our own hands/hearts.....There is "room"
    for all, beginner, and master,... after all we all started as
    inexperienced once....Sharing these processes with like minded
    individuals is really the important aspect of this "Jacobs ladder"
    that Orchid blesses us with....In reading these posts of late, I was
    reminded of two quotes which seem quite pertinent, one by Kahil
    Gibran in his book the Prophet, who said ;" Work is Love made
    visable"., And the other by the late Joseph Campbell in Reflections
    on the Art of Living, who observed, "a definition of art--"art is the
    making of things well,...that underlies art no matter what its
    function or category. If you're not interested in making things
    well, then you're not, even in the most elementary sense, an artist".
    Thanks for the sharing, Blessings to All, Thomas
