Ok its February already. New year resolutions were put on hold whilst I got over a nasty cold.

So now , here we are, ready to start again.  I've had some time to reflect and have decided that this is going to be the year when I spend time doing research and development of new ideas. Its so easy to get caught up in the rush and lose sight of what you are doing and why.

So I've made a small start by trying out a new texture tool for silver. Its called a pendant frosting wheel and gives a sort of shimmery effect. Heres a work in progress, I used it to give contrast to the different parts of the bird,hopefully a better photo will appear once its finished.
