Yesterday was the first time I attempted it, and I have posted my pics for your comments and advice! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1751.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1749.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1748.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1750.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1747.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1744.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1743.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1741.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/markfin/100_1740.jpg This is soooooo addictive.

That'd look great on a huge canvas (something for when you are a little bit more experienced though). If you want to put the images straight onto your post instead of the links just copy and paste the third line of the links on photobucket and that should do it for you! Can't wait to see your next batch! Maria x

Tell me what to do and I'll have a go Oh I've already found Barry by the way!! Just ordered a whole load of stuff from him. He's a gem! Most of the pics I posted were on the small postcard size paper. The only one on larger (coloured) paper (A5) is the waterfall one. Just thought.........I've got a day off work tomorrow............more waxing!! Martine x (I NEED A SIGNATURE!!). How?!
