Thanks Wizard)) I do know where it is on my UI. I mean while watching Angelizes's tutorial I saw her opening layers on the right panel. I must work all on the base plate paper thinking they all create into the layers palette>? by themselves... I understand layers, but I tend to be get right into a design and forget about it halfway through. I just thought is it possible I'm not doing the tutorial right. Are you making new layers as you work?

Here is my wax and pottery slip tho...
