Fantastic job, you all!!!   ;D

Well, quite !

I think it's quite amazing the way y'all manage to achieve such results !

Lovely drawing, Robin, you lucky thing.

Well, yes.....


The trouble is, the pic is 16 1/2 inches by 20, and so has been kept rolled up, as it's too big to hang on the wall of our little cottage - AND Gran didn't have it framed, nor did my father !

Now that it's been scanned, and so beautifully re-touched, we would LIKE to put a smaller print-out (say A5, i.e. twice the size of Xinia's) into an oval frame, somewhat like Xinia has done so well, but I feel the feathers in the hat rather detract, and also make the picture unbalanced, and mean there's a lot of white in the pic !

I wonder if any of the talented artists in here would be so kind as to pluck the feathers out, and perhaps shift the text over a little, to reduce the proportion of background ?
