Dawn ... Hope you don't mind me using your name. I'm old and this user name stuff kinda confuses me. I'm not really trying to prolong what you just meant as some friendly advise, but I just wanted to make it clear that I did not join Tiki Central because I thought I could sell my Cafepress stuff here. I have belonged to a number of different forums and never found that to be of any marketing value. Also I try not to offer opinions, because my opinions often cause me trouble. I was sorry I used the term "weird" as soon as I pressed the submit button. I meant weird only in the kindest way. I love weird. I'm weird. Weird makes the world go around.

I try to keep a low profile here, but it was the digital design thread that first got me speaking up. I gave a brief intro of some of my processes and software I use. Thor even downloaded a free sculpting program I use and started using it. I never pushed my methods beyond that because I don't want to cause any more controversy than I already have. By just showing my stuff I feel that folks judge my work rather than my techniques. It has worked for me so far. I even got some helpful advise from Sven. I'm just trying to learn some stuff without stepping on anyone's toes .... I finally got to check out your site and I want to thank you, an artist of great talent, for trying to help me a bit as well ...... Thanks Gene
