[pure-silver] Re: What is a "project"?

i do work within projects; these can go on for years. Some times making images 
is directed at a specific project, but many times i am out and around and just 
react to what i am seeing, which may fit in with a project or may not.
these are very board themes, except in rare cases and have been known to 
shuffle them around depending on what has been made.
regards.
