Thanks everyone!

As for the chocolate Liz, well if I must! :choc: I mean, I wouldn 't have stopped off for a break myself, but seeing as you insist ... well, it would be rude not to wouldn't it!

Excellent! You are right to stand back and lool from a distance as those 'bizarre' colours blend in and bring the whole thing to life! :applesauce: :applesauce:

A friend of mine had a photo of her cat made into a chart and at first she thought that a black cat did not have green and purple in it's fur....until she stood back! :D Now finished it's about to walk straight out of the frame! :D

Aww, TB, this is looking gorgeous! What a sweet doggy face. :wub: How on earth do I keep missing your updates? I swear you must update and then everyone else must post like mad until your thread ends up a couple of pages down on the active topics and I miss it. :oops:

:D


I probably sound really strange now. :oops:
This is so right - sometimes your brain needs to 'look' at it in a different way to make out the picture properly!!

Beautiful progress, they're looking great! :applesauce:

Just saw this! I SO agree about needing to "step back". While doing my current project from a photo, I kept thinking, yikes, am I really putting BLUE and GREY in my FACE? :lol: :lol:

Chocolate is always such a big motivation. :drool: :choc: :dance:

I was going to wait until I finished the part I'm working on but decided to just show it to you now anyhow. :lol:

So this is where you last saw it:

And this is where I'm up to as of now:

Still quite a bit to do on this this part yet. :)
