Self Reflection:

Yay, vector diary days eight through twelve!  Can you sense my enthusiasm?

For some reason, the gradient overlay using screen just didn't work.  Result: white circle.  Makeshift solution: Opacity!  Adobe troubleshooting fail... 

My pear is lopsided.  I used pesticides.

Pretty spa flowers?  

And also, using shapes for kesy is SO MUCH BETTER THAN USING PEN; WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS WHAT CAPS LOCK CAN.

Participation/Project: 10/9.5

Also, I'm aware my self reflections read like existentialist ramble.  Think Thomas Pynchon meets ADD.
