    Wonderful! This really struck a chord in me! (On the INSIDE I'm bright and colorful but that's not what I show to the world!) LOL

    Hello Elizabeth

    This brings a big smile to my face. I think Gilbert is singing "Listen do you want to know a secret, do you promise not to tell..oh oh". Did he ever visit Venice Italy? those red and white stripes are awfully like the shirts the gondaliers wear

    Ho! Well I like your humour just as much as I admire your skill as an artist. Your humour is subtle - not like mine which is loud and raucous.

    This is a good work, it's simplicity sings to us.

    When I saw this week's topic, I was hoping we'd be treated to one of your wonderful creations in their striped socks. I love the fact that he's keeping his snazziness underwater...
