Marcia, I love it! Great job! The shadows look great and the wax looks fine to me. I'm curious as to why you added the bug...

**MarciaB** · 05 October 2006, 02:38 PM

Thanks Bob! I added the bug to make the thing less serious and because it really sits on the wall behind the candlestick right now

Hahahaha, so this is a real candleholder and a real bug? How'd you get the bug to pose? Is he/she asking for royalties?

Marcia, if you convert your mould to "Editable Shape", then you can crop it without loosing the perspective.

Yes of course! Thanks Judi! BTW did you notice I used one of your patterns in my candlestick graphic? I love that one

Thank you, The pattern was created in Xara. I found a site that had photos of antique tapestries that inspired it.

you're right, there should be a little curve in there.
