I really wasn't complaining about a lack of attention...and am not so emotionally needy as to pander for praise from people I haven't personally met & kicked it with offline.
I have over 2k out of pocket, invested into this (most recent) board, plus countless hours of research, planning and experimentation.
Lots of trial & error and trade-ups have taken place in the past 18 months, and when things come together to mesh in such a way that makes my eyes widen, all the spent time and effort is that much more worth it. This stuff obviously brings me
and balance, and that's already enough.So yeah, without a doubt it's awesome to be recognized by your peers, but by no means do I post for sake of ego or fishing for compliments; nor was I suggesting that these LSY threads are about such posturing here on ILF. Elsewhere, sure. But I know I'm not the only one to notice the conspicuous sincerity by this obsessive community. Definitely an unavoidable degree of narcissism involved, but that's par for the course. The difference is, rather than competitive show & tell...I think of this more as comparing notes and sharing ideas...with visual aides.
K nuff rambling. More playing.
too i'm onto new material so i'm mixing new colors and trying them out.
