First of all I'd just like to say a massive thank you to all those who read, voted for or commented on my introduceyourself post yesterday:
As I've said, simply getting over the first-post-hump gave me a real boost, so to then receive such a warm welcome from so many people in the community was just a fantastic feeling! I'm really quite overwhelmed!
So to say a big thank you in my own way, today I sat down to make a collage representing my feeling at joining the site! I hope you like it!
These are the tools of the trade(ish)
Actually if you are going to collage at home I'd recommend (carefully) using a proper craft knife or scalpel and investing in a good non-slip cutting mat to work on - safety first people!
Here's the image I'll be working from. It's from an old French magazine:
First cuts and filling in the background:

Happy Steeming People!!

Welcome to Steemit, nice collage. A little tip for an artist; resteeming is awesome but do not do it so much it is hard to find your own posts when someone is trying to get to know you or upvote you in turn. Most people are happy enough with an upvote. Personally I like sincere comments like you made the other day the most; that really made me happy.
It's a good point you raise - it's not like my 0.5 SP and audience of 61 is going to send anyone to the moon, lol! Hard to break the resteeming habit of 3 weeks, I guess! :)
