He is a real character, He has his cage door permanently open so he comes and goes as he pleases...We have his wings clipped a little , just so he cant fly too far. .But he is a bit of a bugger, Likes to chew my plants to bit , He doesn't talk but mimics peoples laugh................ and when the dogs bark so does He....................

Not that hard Polly, tweak the levels of colour, unsharp, watercolour and highlighting with watercolour drip on large. Wonderful program although I would like the latest version. Iam not very adapt at it, but as with the polymer, just keep on playing with it. Try this www.imageeditingsecrets.com/course/1/ David Peterson also does photo tutorials, very worthwhile to get on his mailing list (all free) |

ty ty ty
ah yes, i suppose you would call that armature. I think of armature as something foreign inside the clay itself. The cage is just baked once.
Gonna try to wire the birdie in this arvo.
Peta walked to her class herself this morning. I watched her from the street looking so tiny trotting through all those huge seniors. ah my baby's growing up fast.
