priceless as always….thank you. May I ask you a question? You said you “traced” the tree. What did you use? Graphite, Carbon, Transfer paper? What shows best on the inks? I tried Graphite but it didn’t show through the ink…..and I can’t draw for nuts!
Hi Jolie, a lot of people are intimidated by drawing. You can trace with regular old carbon paper.
