| I tried to post this and was pretty sure I did it right, but I don't see it. So if this is duplicated I am sorry. Here is a picture of my rainy day project yesterday. It is a Jeanne Maurer design and a free download from Artistclub.com. This is a first for me of shaded roses, so I know it is not great, but I am happy with it and know the more I practice I should get better. Thanks for looking.

| Very pretty, Donna, Nice design with the roses and the dragonfly and your crackle finish turned out great too. And I even love the candle holder you used on it. Such a nice way to spend a rainy day too. ;o) Luvs |

| The roses are pretty and I love the colors you used...could never tell it's your first time doing them, but that dragonfly is totally awesome! What a wonderful piece and I agree...a great way to spend a rainy afternoon! |

| Donna, this is very pretty. I think you did a great job. I am not familiar with Jeanne Maurer but will look her up. |

| It looks great! Did you crackle it first and then paint the detail on top of the crackling? What is that like? |

| Oceanna, I crackled the boards first and then I actually sealed it with a sealer so that the roses would not look crackled and have a smooth finish to paint on. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for the compliments. DJ |
