I am also quite happy about the "wood grain" of the fencing, made with camo tools, ditto the feathers on the birds. On one scrap, figuring how to paint the fencing, i ended up grinding the garishly white paint down with a dremel, making it look like old milk-painted fence. Nice effect, but I like this better. Paints are Tandy Eco-Flow dyes + white Cova paint, finish is Satin Sheen.

Heh, I see what you mean, but if I had made the bird smaller it would be insignificant, and if I made the fence larger, it would swamp the visual space. Therefore, it must be a giant mutant chickadee.

Hello all, glad to finally get joined up here, after many tries at getting past the CAPTCHA gatekeeper. As a beginner, I look forward to learning from you all. Needing to learn pretty much everything, I thought a simple handbag kit (the Tandy Francesca) would acquaint me with several different skills, without demanding much in the way of accuracy or experience. Just finished it yesterday. Except for it needing some edge finishing, I am pretty happy with it. The fencing was traced from clipart, the birds from photographs, and the flowers just slapped in any old how.
