Yep, I go through cycles like that. I'm just getting out of my CCJ
lotus phase and have promiced myself to do at least 10 new types
before I repeat any. I have done a whatever that is on the back off my
hand-kinda Moroccan by way of India- and did one of CCJ's Syrian
designs on the palm. Only 8 more to go!

: I seem to go in mini-cycles of designs, my grape leaf phase, then my

: tribal phases. Anyone else find themselves doing this, where youre

: theme (w/variations) for a little while? Great for developing your

:
: Anyhow I just wanted everyone to know how much I value your

: due to the collaborative effort, the stories, artwork, recipes,
: successes & failures we've shared.

: Long live the Forum!
