Thank you Fireworkslover for book tip - I am so pleased with the results!

First is the runner as it was, then as it looks now - I reckon I can charge a bit more now!

After I read your thread, and saw your PICS, I have ordered this book......hasn't been rec'd yet - but I will read cover to cover and practive when it is............maybe I will be half as good as you are.........

Thanks all - I am sure you will all be pleased with your results - let us see what you do. I am still adding to some smaller bits of work I've done, before I go on a big piece!

Make sure you practice on paper first - drawing, drawing, drawing - to really get the motion in your brain of how you'll go. That helps the most, I think. Have fun!

Buy a dry erase board, I have one and it's wonderful. Much less waste. :-)

Well, that's a very good idea! Good thinking.
