I agree I think we are all our own worse critics! It looks great cf I don't think Id even know where to start yet with a biscornu!

I know I'm not ready to tackle a biscourne yet! I tried to finish the back of a small project and nothing that I did worked out! I think your finish is great, C_F!

I love the book mark and particularly the biscornu - these are just so collectible. I've got one on my to do list and am looking forward to starting it - it's going to be my Christmas time project this year.

What a lovely design, and doesn't it just go to show that the simplest finishes are often the most effective ones!

The bookmark is gorgeous, such cute little birds! I must make a bookmark for my Mum too, she's always reading. I love how you finished it too, so simple but so effective.
