It really is effective and so very lovely.<br />annieanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021356337010751802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-83663648940421579992010-01-13T14:07:28.483+00:002010-01-13T14:07:28.483+00:00Now you've explained, I can see how you've...Now you've explained, I can see how you've applied the whites.

Of course I'm going to have to try it now.<br /><br />I love your monotype (plus), the way you've kept your whites so clear and crisp and the gorgeous pattern of branches and twigs.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.com
