I love how you incorporated the text from the bird book to compliment the poster.<br /><br />A little tip I use is that when using larger sheets of paper such as your poster, brushing on wallpaper paste to the back gives you a bit more workability as it does not dry as quickly as the gel medium.<br /><br />I just know that your few other elements will make a very special piece Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705378309728984562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795775338942020284.post-67405464767250570422009-05-12T08:39:00.000-04:002009-05-12T08:39:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful idea, Da...Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful idea, Dawn.
