I really like this title. Better represents what the pattern is, IMHO.
Can't wait for the pattern to be ready. Will you be selling on the board?

Yeah, people are kinda drawn to eyes and smile. Hmmm... which pic could I use? Gotta think.

What about this one that I plan to include?

It is anything you want it to be.

Here are some other things I have done with this technique:

It could be a landscape, or baby pic, or of your puppy.

Of course I will sell on the board - you all are ALWAYS so helpful! I will post a note at the end of this thread directing you to the Classifieds once it is ready.

if you want to be sure you see the post, PM me and I will add you to a list of people to notify thru PM when it is done.

Wow, I really gotta get busy and get it all done! :thumbup:

I like number 3 the best! It shows more of the process and what the book is about.

IMO I like the first picture. There is a sense of serenity to it.
