Thanks, Frank, for announcing this here!
Well, what should I say? This mill is my (second) entry to the 2.ISCC
(http://www.creativity-contest.net/). Unfortunatelly the text is in German
only. I'm not good enough at English to translate the technical terms and
the diction into English so that it fits into the atmosphere of the scene.
So please have a look at the pictures and strike out your own story :-)
Bye

Liebe Jojo,
I have to say your work always inspires and amazes me. I hope one day to
have even half the skill at creation as you do. Thank you for sharing your
creations with the rest of us.
The funny thing is that I seem to be half a step (and many years) behind
you. When you showed us your cathedral (or part of one) last year, I had
been working on one for months. Now you have a water mill and mine is
almost done.
{na ja}
I'm just curious, how do you come up with new ideas? From reading? From
looking around you?
Eine schöne Wochenende noch!
Laura

JoJo,
This is beautiful! The mill itself is outstanding, but what really brings
it to life is the action--guy dumping grain into the mill stones, fisherman,
cat and rat, etc. My favorite construction details are the foundation
(especially the mix of tall slopes with other bricks, the mix of colors, the
touches of green) and also the way that in places you turned plates on their
side to give your diagonal black stripes in the red walls.

JoJo,
Awesome, simply awesome! I think the details are amazing! I really enjoyed
seeing your mill. Jon

That's a great compliment, thank you very much!
However, I really do not see me more creative or skilled than others.

Hey, I've seen your Norman Cathedral ages ago and still find it great! So it
was you who were ahead of me with this project :-)
And for the mill: I was planning to build a watermill since I've read a
children's book called "Krabat" (I don't think it's known outside of
Germany. It's hardly known IN Germany.) Half a year or so ago I saw a very
nice water mill on BrickShelf, which, alas, I don't find again. But I didn't
let this argue me out of building my own mill. And so should everybody do.
Even if sombody's creation seems to be perfect, build your own version if
you really want to build it.

Sometimes I get ideas from reading (like the watermill). Mostley I just look
around and decide that something is worth being built, or I just WANT to
build something, so I build it if I can. What I wanted to build but not were
able to, the public will never find out :-)

Danke, das wünsche ich Dir auch!
