And I think they serve a visual containment in the same way as a rule or box does in design for example. As for the blogging, I had been reading design blogs for a while, realized I needed more of an active creative outlet, and had the encouragement of many people pushing me to start. I also love connecting with people who have similar interests - like you!quintessencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484326999396839391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-55680244772592354372010-08-30T11:16:55.266-04:002010-08-30T11:16:55.266-04:00I agree that blogging is a lovely way to find kind...I agree that blogging is a lovely way to find kindred spirits, to join in the world-wide conversation of things I enjoy. After a career in public relations where I did everything from the writing to the production, having my own blog would be like going back to work. I enjoy the freedom to read, respond, encourage and appreciate. As for gates and fences, love them.

I thought if I had one I'd be able to answer any questions she might have. Alas, she's had no interest, but it's become another creative outlet for me.
