You're kidding, Nige!?

You know, I am the WORST judge of my own work... this was a little idea I spotted last weekend after passing through the Rollrights on my Saturday jaunt between Stratford and Oxford. I tossed it off on Saturday and Sunday eve (as it were). I can't even remember what price I bunged it on my website for... pause to check it out.... 75 quid unframed. It's quite pretty, i s'pose!

Many of the pics that I think 'that's GREAT!' people just don't react to in the same way. I absolute ADORE this one: http://www.janetomlinson.com/images/fullcircle_fullmoon.jpg
but I've only sold one of the four. Its so weird cos i think its a corking piece.

There are so many of my works that end up on the 'its crap' pile that I have to rely on treaclechops and Traff to tell me: 'hey that's good!' So i've given up trying to assess them myself.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is if you have enjoyed looking at it, then it has been a success and worth my time doing it. Thanks for the vote of conf, nige.

That's the ruddy problem isn't it - the harder you try the less you get what you want, and then another time along comes a scene and hops onto your paper all by itself and shows you who's boss.
The other one you mentioned IS very nice yet I prefer the first. I think that I'm more aware of the art and artifice in the full circle one, whereas you've done it all without it being apparent in the first. Anyway, let's face it the second one is brown, and the buying public are all pigs so won't like it as much!
I've looked at all your earth magic pieces on your site. Unsurprizingly, the nicest of all are the ones that you've already sold. I think the ones with stones in them appeal to me most, you're very good at capturing them. Except the quicky Avebury daub that I was delighted to see you'd offloaded to a Yank, hahahaha!
Sorry, mustn't lead you into slagging your customers, I'm sure they were very discerning.
