Thanks everyone I like a bit of shine and shimmer more than sparkle. I hate glitter, it gets everywhere. The person who had that idea of sending glitter to people you hate is a genius. I think women are more likely to have the extra cone to see more colours, Teri, maybe that's why we notice stuff more and like 'shiny things' (though I say that loosely and mean colourful/the same thing in various shades, even browns etc). Is that why my other half thinks something is clean when it is obviously dirty? He just doesn't have the right rods and cones to see muckyness (shades of brown)?

Zed, all glitterness aside, how did you manage to get the colors so aligned & defined on the front but smeared on the back?

I don't remember where I heard it. It is a good one.

Glitter: the herpes of the craft world. Must remember that one Ann.

It could be, Teri! I saw Countryfile last week talking about how some animals see and things became unobvious because they lack red. Elizabeth, I laid out the bottom layer doing one column at a time, (top to bottom) starting on the right with the gooseberry green, then the next column overlapped as usual, but I used Sky blue, then violet etc ... you don't get quite the same 'feathered' effect as when I do that for a top layer, like this: Rainbow felt par Zedster01, on ipernity Just because it is the bottom, so you see the underneath. The top layer was laid out in rows (left to right) and I just went across starting with the pink, changing colour to match the columns below, I tried to get it a little 'fuzzy' where the colours changed, using a thin amount of each, so it wasn't too defined, and did the same with the embellishments. I made a book cover out of it yesterday. I almost used the back, but went with the front in the end, maybe I'll do a similar one, feathering like the back.
