WOW Laura, this is beautiful! Great DD work! I have a Fractalius feature with the gimp program, but haven't figured out how to use it yet!! You are becoming the master of Frac though!! LOL! Great job. Keep it up! Laura #8295593

Thank you, Laura Lee! Big smiles here! This was fun to do but a lot of work. Couldn't decide which of them I liked better. There were even more that are -not- shown here!!! HA!

Take the time to play with your frac filter. It can be very gratifying!

Glorious FX and color! It reminds me of stained glass! I have been busy (and it has been cold too) and haven't made it to the garage to search for my 70's treasure but today it is supposed to be warmer so I am planning to try. I will let you know when I find it! #8295750
