 Yes but the only thing I did is add he Gherkin (and remove part of the old cigar). It took me a good 8 minutes to do.   _________________  |

					 Nothing sprang to mind with the gherkin(that i could be bothered doing), I did join 2 horizontally and start to build a moustache but gave up, anyway here is an effort.   ![]() _________________ Corners are just bent straight bits.  |

					 What a coincidence! I bought these salt and pepper shakers in a French market whist on holiday. Condiments to all! It has been fun catching up with the last few weeks.

					 Gherkin was seen in a Mini gathering in Montreal in 2004.... incognito.

					 David, Good stuff. I think that the dress is especially fashionable on the low res girl and that she ought to be holding the matching gherkin cell phone.    |

					 Cheers to Raffy and jefferson for the comments. At home I only ever get ' is that it ?' or 'what is it ?'. I have to say the wrist watch is my favourite at the moment. _________________ Corners are just bent straight bits.  |

					 David you did a great job on your dress. It looks like a snake skin outfit. I can understand what you mean about people in your family not understanding. I'll go to show my husband something and he automatically says, "that's nice". Then I say, how you could you tell you never LOOKED at it!!   
luckily I have 3 artistic teenagers who appreciate my efforts and give feedback. So far they haven't got sick of me, and sometimes I'm even lucky enough to get them to pose. They no longer ask what it's for but wait to see the outcome. _________________ Pauline  |
