I'm glad you think it's lovely...and yes, precision so important for the details. But I've always been sort of a messy at everything! Like you said, the important thing is that you learn something in the end...it's the process! I might have to check out that rubber cement now! Thanks so much!

Lovely, really! I have similar precision problems with things like this too---I'm an estimating, eyeballing type of person, so I'll just jump in with little planning and then find myself trying to creative think my way out of mistakes part way through. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't, but I do always learn something in the process. The glue all over the place, really sounds like me! I do love rubber cement for it's ability to rub off afterward! That looks so great! Lovely, really!
