This is really great, Steph, I love it!! It's a pity that people can only see this small version, why don't you put a link to the contest page in the subscription, where it is much larger? The colours are so marvellous! You've got my vote. :)Anonymous Guest 01 Aug 2007

I have never heard of this sugar paper, but it sure added pizzaz to this beautiful charcoal work. I love the symbol of this dove. Nicely done.
