Another copper finish H F.     Finer texturing this time with a hint of Wales ( CYMRU ).
Another fine win over France on Friday, had to do something to celebrate.
C & C welcome again please.

Rod,

Oh very clever, you've achieved an excellent figure in that texturing.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

Yep excellent, Rod .. expresses the very rugged heart an coastline of Wales, especially after the current Weather.

Wondered how you'd top the last piece, this one has.

Dewi , Eric and Malcolm,

Thanks very much for your positive comments, glad you all like it. Next project is experimenting with gold size which I've been given by one of my nieighbours, "See what you can do with this, it's been in the cupboard for over 20 years". I'm always up for a challenge, hope to get something on here soon.
