I miss having your gallery here Barbieq..when I got stuck on something I'm working on, it was good to take time out and browse through your fantastic works..it always gave me inspiration to go back to my wip and look at it with fresh eyes please bring it back soon ! thanks regards j.d.

well done Possum..I knew you would get that "red spider creature" into a comp somehow! very clever..indeed regards j.d.

well done Possum.. for you.. BTW.. love the new sig..very "YOU" regards j.d.

Thanks a million Helen I'm working on it at the moment.. I shall let you know how I get on. regards j.d.

hi Helen, your gallery is full of beautiful art, and I espcially love your " glass work's" you mentioned that you add "gloss" to your work, am I missing something..? how do you add "gloss" ? I'm sorry if this is a "stupid" question, but I have been trying various suggestions and just cant seem to achieve the "gloss" effect that you seem to have perfected. thanks. regards j.d.

absolutely love all your pieces,and your new one is no exception, just wonderful. unfortunately I am in no position to offer any valuable feedback on "artistic qualities" but I know what I like to see and I just "LOVE" your style and flair they say that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" well this "beholder" believes your art is a "a beauty" I'm sorry that I cannot offer any (constructive) critisim but I just dont have the expierience or knoweledge to do so I believe if you (the artist) likes what they have created then you have succeeded in what you set out to achieve and nothing else really matters :heart: keep up the GREAT work.. regards j.d.

wonderful new piece..colours are sooo vibrant. the time you must spend on each piece really shines through the end result.. fantastic regards j.d.

great gallery Trine. just adore the animals. well done. regards j.d.

well done Leonte, a win well deserved congrats to runners up also OMA, Welshblue,and of course for Possum.. (sorry possum, cant find "cheeseburger" emoticon) still not a single vote for me! oh well, maybe next time. anyway, congrats to all regards j.d.

thanking you kindly ladies for your encouragement... you've given me the confidence boost I needed to seriously consider creating a "gallery". I am working on some new pieces ..so..maybe soon. thank you both again :heart: regards j.d.

hi Sokagirl. thanks for the "quickie tut!" didn't quite reach the standard of "the basket" in your gallery. but hey, I enjoyed trying. anyway, this is what I ended up with..more of a "bowl" than a "basket" Hidden Content: http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae39/jdmelek/my%20PDN%20bucket/crystalrose.png regards j.d.
