I was playing with my hotplate and swiped this amazing background, to which I added a few extra bits and pieces. The comet was kind of 'there' so I went with it and this is the result!

Judging by what I've seen of yours so far Sal, I'd reckon that's a certainty! Just keep on practicing and experimenting.

Oh..I'm honoured! I've only been waxing for about 18 months (though I've always painted) so it just goes to show how fast you can become quite profficient at it. I'm still learning though, so I still have a way to go myself!

Nice though, to think that my work is encouraging others to try it!

:lol: Oh heck, John...don't say such things. It took me over a year to save for this one!

And really...the hotplate HAS to take credit for 80% of this one. All I did was put a few colours on it and swipe the card across a couple of times. Anyone can do that!

Add a castle or two and a couple of dragons and there's the result.
