I'm BRAND NEW to repousse - got my pitch out this weekend, struggled just to get it out of the can! I drew a BLANK trying to come up with some simple drawing - I never thought of a vegetable....maybe I'll try a pumpkin tonight - its got a bit of texture in the stem and sides of the pumpkin yet not too much to make me crazy. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm off to read your blog entry on it...

Hi Janice,
since your relatively new to the active branches.........of our lil tree. I feel I should give you a "heads up".....Enrique doesn't like us to attach our Website URL to our signatures. Unless it's relevant to the topic and you want someone to see what your discussing, by seeing something on your site. ;)

Walker,
your repousse gets better with each one. I like the frame, patina and the "maters".
It shows when someone enjoys what they do. can't wait to see what you do next.
