That one really appeals to me...like the balance of negative space and flow of the scroll...and the way you have been shading your work it should look terrfic.

I hope you cut it.

The center scroll/top is a little on the small side compared to the other leaf structure. Over-all a very nice design. Thanks for sharing your rapid progress- Fred

bill....thanks for your support

That little scroll almost need to come out of the middle of that leaf. Nice scrolls BTW..

Nice Shawn, what are you using for your beaded background?
