I'll take that blame any day, honey! It looks faboo! Can't wait to come to y'all's event!

[soldiergrrrl]

Thanks! I'm glad it's looking good. I'm all nervous about the painting but so far...I'm pretty happy!

Just remember to ink, make copies (at least two or three) THEN paint. then, you make colour copies of the one you painted. I promise this is the best route. NEVER paint your originals. Seriously. and I say make 2 or 3 initially, because you never know when you just decide you hate something, or there is a huge boo-boo.

It looks great :)

Do you go over the gold and silver then? I don't think the copier can make true copies of that?

[shonao]

Well, you have a couple options here

Thanks! What you really want is my ability to trace. ;-) I'd feel bad, but manuscript makers in period did it too!!

[shonao]

Yes they did! Even with my ability to draw, I STILL use my light box a LOT. It's a huge time-saver.

Oh! I looked at that light table you posted, and emailed the guy, he said he has someone coming ot get it Monday or Tuesday, but would email me if they didn't come to get it.

It's remarkably like the one I got from a friend in Denton. If he emails me back that they skipped out, I can go grab it for you. If not, well, at least I tried?

[soldiergrrrl]

That's great! Thanks!!!!
