really? as i say, i wouldn't say that i'm proud of it, but as a first go i'd say it was alright. didn't know if you professionals would see it the same way though - thought it might be one of those things like drawing that you can either do well or you can't.

but i think with practice it would get better. getting the mortar mix right and keeping it that way is the hardest bit, particularly without a mixer. and then knowing how much to put on the brick so you fill the right height without splurging too much out the side takes some practice
