Thanks for the links, those were lovely images. Encouraging to see people making a living at this sort of work. I actually have a high tolerance for grunt work - providing someone isn't standing over my shoulder while doing it or making more work than necessary. Granted both those things do happen. I think part of what appeals to me is ending up with something that I can show to other people and say 'Look at what I did' and occasionally get an 'Oh I like that' sort of reaction. People are less impressed with processing payments, word processing or packing orders (no matter how good I am at those things). Lin
