I thank you for the compliment. I am quite pleased with this tile, however I am aware that some of my other work lacks the detail and continuity of subject matter and style that marks the best artists here. Hopefully that will improve as I extend my portfolio.
I have to agree with your postings elsewhere; this site really is quite addictive, isn't it?

I agree with Eddie on most points, and I think you did a great job blending into some difficult material. One suggestion for improving this would be adding something more interesting to the top of your tile, so the person working above you wouldn't have just a large white space to blend into. I think this is the top of the quilt anyway, so it doesn't matter, but that's just a bit of constructive criticism for you. :) Anyhow, great tile, keep up the good work!

I'd worked out in advance that this tile was at the top, so I didn't want anything on that edge. I'm a bit upset about the fate of my poor chess snake though :)
