Firslty thanks so much everyone for your comments and support - especially for the idea of finding a quilt to pas out on! Good one! :-D

A pelican would be wonderful using this technique! I plan on doing a pheasant as we have zillions of them round here (all the ones my DH missed last shooting season! :mrgreen: ) all those rich rusts and gold in the plumage and that red and green head, I think would be magnificent! . It would work for any kind of bird of course, but also fur, leaves, the possibilities are endless! :-D

I can hear your brain whirring from here!!!!!All those ideas! Think you are on overdrive!!!
:lol:
