Hey everyone!
Let me know what you think by clicking on my pic and rating it/leaving a comment.
My initial frustration with these tools turned into fascination as I saw what so many different people have done with them. Here's my crack at it. It's unfinished like it will probably stay.
An old art teacher of mine told me that I never signed my stuff because it was never done, and it was never done because I could never admit to the limitations of my chosen medium. This is probably why my chosen medium nowadays is mixed 
Thanks for looking! |

| And an old art teacher of mine once told me that a tool is only as limited as the artist wielding it. |

Someone once said that limitation is freedom.
But that wasn't my art teacher... |

You remind me of a sonnet by William Wordsworth that I've always liked:
Nuns fret not at their convent's narrow room;
and hermits are contented with their cells;
and students with their pensive citadels;
maids at the wheel, the weaver at his loom,
sit blithe and happy; bees that soar for bloom,
high as the highest Peak of Furness-fells,
will murmur by the hour in foxglove bells:
in truth the prison, unto which we doom
ourselves, no prison is: and hence for me,
in sundry moods, 'twas pastime to be bound
within the Sonnet's scanty plot of ground;
pleased if some Souls (for such there needs must be)
who have felt the weight of too much liberty,
should find brief solace there, as I have found.
