I love the variety you always bring to the table. Creativity is always such a beautiful surprise to me, I never know when a good idea might strike. However I do know many of my writings are provoked by deep emotion! I think some of the art just trickles out behind that! I love how a piece will start out as one gender and become another! I love the birthing of an art piece! Great post!<br /><br />Hugs GigglesGiggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056586873219716348.post-76084925722585723492016-09-12T11:58:08.662-07:002016-09-12T11:58:08.662-07:00Hello Morag, Your comments mean a lot to me.
