I love seeing the developing progression of your pieces. Will remind myself to record the stages of my next work. Thanks for the great idea!

You should! I used to try to explain what I had done in each stage, but it is so instinctual, that it felt tedious to try to work out the techniques in each photo. I do like trying to document the progression of each work, though. I think it is neat for the clients who buy the work, and perhaps interesting to other creatives. I know I always love to see how the work of other artists develop.
