I had several sleepless nights as there was nothing worthy of posting for some time; lots of ideas flitting around inside my head but nothing coherent on paper or canvas - and there were a few!! I find if I can come up with a phrase or similar, it find it helps to organise my thoughts and then there's no stopping. ;~}Shelagh Metselaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521287880796226910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844674284502806450.post-18990217373075360762015-04-01T10:53:56.271+01:002015-04-01T10:53:56.271+01:00A truly beautiful creation and worth all that work...A truly beautiful creation and worth all that work Sheelagh.
