From the Japan Alps, the roof of Japan, I shout a great big WELCOME to JREF !! The spring time has ripened and the weeds are in over drive, reaching for the sky and trying to test my limit of grass and weed cutting stamina.
I hope you stick around and share your thoughts and stuff with us all. There are a lot of things to talk about, and there are yet many things to learn. I'd love to hear what's on your mind too.
Well Thank You for the welcome, and I love the avatar you have got, and yes I do hope I have got loads to say on here as many a topic does get my brain thinking.
Welcome, welcome, miss SweetMusic, it's delightful to have you here with us - and another Brit at that!!
An illustrator - how fascinating, I hope I can pick up a few artistic points as we learn a little more about you from your posts! I dabble in a bit of abstract painting myself, and hope to get more adept at creating digitally too /mixing media. There's a lovely thread around here somewhere where people post some of their creations - Take a look at those paintings of our own Mars Man, and be prepared to pass out in disbelief at his claim that he's colour-blind!!
By the way, do you have interests in Japan - I wonder if Japanese art or manga/anime is your special interest?
