Which raises the question -- how many proofs do I have to run before the ink doesn't have blood-spots in it any more? :-) Hi Sue -- thanks! The shading was by way of being a mistake. I had the idea of using fine line shading for background bits, and then realised that (a) that was supposed to be part of the tree-trunk and so foreground, and (b) I didn't really want a background anyway. Ah, well. I'll let you know how the flooring pieces turn out -- could be a great way of sourcing decent wood. Hi Paul — thanks and yes, I have to be really careful!

The only little niggle to me is that corner of fine shading down by the mushroom's base, but that's just me. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with when you start work on those lumps of flooring!

Truly enjoyable. Just be careful with your fingers in such proximity to sharp implements .... It could slow down the blog postings, if you're left with less than the standard amount of digits and have to resort to the "hunt and peck" method. Cheers Mate!
