"I think on of the problems with IAP is that we get used to seeing such terrific work from the extremely talented people here that you become used to it."

Jim,
Thank you for the sincere compliment on my pen.
Your sentiments about the work on the IAP are similar to mine in that there are so many extremely talented people that you do get used it.
I try to view work on this site in a manner much like one would look at works in a Museum of Fine and Contemporary Art. On many occasions, I go back and look at a pen several times. In my mind's eye, I try to understand the thought process, creativity and most important, the individuality that each artist demonstrates when he or she posts a pen. Individuality is still expressed despite our reliance on kits, however; members keep pushing limits and broken free of that reliance and in doing so, encourage and teach fellow artists to increase the breadth and scope of the ability to express their creativity. It is a honor to be part of this organization.
Anyway, that's my two cents worth. I think I've had way too much coffee
this morning.:biggrin::biggrin:
I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Doc
