WOW, you are the master of ball-point pen! Wow. Do you use a ruler to get those straight lines and yet the circles are also so perfect. Fess up to your secrets :)

Thanks guys!

Teri - i confess I had the help of a compass and ruler for this one!

France - this indeed is a very Mod clock. I got it for Christmas and completley co-incidentally I had a group of very Mod themed presents. I had this and a Mod mug. I also got two albums (Paul Weller & Oasis) which both have album covers by Peter Blake - the very Mod British pop artist! (He's also my very favourite artist). From a design point of veiw this is my very favourite period. I am a Mod at heart! With a bit of hippie thrown in! Cheers!

Love it...so clean, so perfect. Forget what Danny says, you, like France, have the ability to make inanimate objects come to life!

What gorgeous shading. I want to learn how to do that! If I had such a cool clock I might not dislike time so much...

Mod at heart with some hippie thrown in! Excellent! How's the Paul Weller album? I saw him live back in 1991 or 1992 and was impressed.
And i am going through a bit of a Townshend period myself...

Oh France - don't get me started on Paul Weller. I LOVE him! I think I've been in love with him for 30 years! From the first moment I saw him on Top of the Pops. The album I got is Stanley Road - it's the ten year anniversary of the album's release so it's got all bits of demos and dvds with it. I now own it 4 times! To me it's a complete album - from start to finish amazing. I like Townshend too, the Who are just amazing aren't they? One of my favourite films is the Who's 'Quadrophenia'. Have you seen it? It's brilliant and it's about Mods in the 1960's! I could go on and on about music. My favourite subject! I'm guessing you could too?! I'm going through a bit of a Springsteen phase at the moment. Cheers!
