    An interesting concept form an interesting mind, Beau. It would be equally interesting to see how it further develops

    It's very cool nonetheless, and I applaud your baking/creative skills. I don't think I could even make a cake, much less in the shape of something.

    The cake that we are making is going to be the tower from the movie Tangled. That is my other big artistic moment. I'll post pictures.
    oh. never mind.. sorry! Yeah I was thinking the vine must be for climbing... now it makes sense. I saw the movie

    Too much thinking may be right Beau, but what a great idea and execution! The raw black and white linework and vast blank distance between the figures that really gives it impact.

    Can't comment on Bien's, because they aren't displaying AT ALL! (Though the problem is probably at my end as usual)

    I'm revisiting a favorite old program, but the intervening years have made it either very dodgy, or I remember it being a lot better than it actually was. Either way I'll keep hammering away until I get some results I'm happy with...

    According to the link they seem attached to one of Bien's Lit Net albums (the albums forum members can create here within the site). Probably you have a sort of problem to access such albums... unsure if it has to do with account settings

    Perchance nostalgia What program would that be?

    Bien, your rabbit and cake are cool. Nice creativity.

    Beau, I really like your concept.

    We would tamely walk headlong into the night
    Could we not remember dusks that yelled through white,
    And only hear The Banshees' endless wailing,
    Rebuffing angers' will for promptly sailing.
    But today no lung knows restful breathing,
    Neither shall there be a single hate at sheathing;
    Today's the finest day for The Impaling.
    Even through the shields completely shattered
    Shall emerge a ram with gates to batter.
    On a day when bells once loud no longer ding,
    When throats ere voiced announce we cannot sing,
    In the wake of The Unveiled by mist unknown,
    It shall, that day, be day for wrath to spring;
    To fling the rocks, the sheath, the blade, the hone.
    And thus, through choking drafts, above, alone
    A race restrings each severed string
    And tunes regain their utmost tone.

    Wonderful Max! (Sigh, I don't have your cute clapping emoticons. Anyway assume it is here.) Have you written the poem also?

    @ beautifuli - I think your concept is really very interesting, as if the past and future are looking at each other through the mirror of present.

    @ Bienvenu - You are a unique artist. I hope your daughter liked it.

    I made this baby dragon for a friend's birthday. It's about two inches tall and three inches long.

    Really cute dragon, Varenne. Its eyes remind me of Shrek's Puss in Boots.
    "...You are not wrong, who deem
    That my days have been a dream;
    Yet if hope has flown away
    In a night, or in a day,
    In a vision, or in none,
    Is it therefore the less gone?..." E. A. Poe
