    The font I've used for this is Amina.

    It's an aeroplane, an Airbus A380, it was going to be a Boeing 747 but I can't do 747's very well.
    I don't know what the font is.

    Sorry.

    Hi Salaam,
    Hmmmm.
    Attached is something that probably
    required less effort than yours!
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Hey Bob, that's much more interesting.
    I can't find where the 'p' is.
    Please point it out.

    Hi Salaam,
    If you type out the upper and lower case letters in alphabetical order,
    then the numbers and then the row of keys (upper and lower case)
    above the "qwerty" line, in any normal font (say, Arial) you can then
    highlight the whole lot and using the fonts gallery, scroll down to the
    required dingbat font and double click on it.
    It's very easy then to work out which dingbat corresponds to which
    dingbat character.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Now that is very clever Steve!
    I particularly like the way the frame is fixed to the wall.
    Extremely inventive. It made me chuckle.
    No rules broken, not that it would matter if there were.
    I'd like to point out at this juncture that nobody is
    obliged to use all of the permitted tools.
    I think the possibilities are endless.
    I'm still messing about with dingbats.
    The attached was influenced by TammyKat's
    thread in the Xtreme section on exporting
    line art to AI.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Good one Hans - like the way he squashes up against the edge of the frame before dropping off !

    BOB - Thanks. The string and the nail, were a last minute addition - it was all just winging it fast - the way I like to work
