Rubbing the liens off the black paper was different because the pencils were all dry. I used a black eraser, as well as an eraser guard - a small piece of thin metal with different lines and shapes cut out of it. The guard part protects the paper and the cut-out line allows you to just rub out that part. If that makes no sense I'll send you a photo!Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-4412698388402963042015-02-12T17:19:49.393+10:002015-02-12T17:19:49.393+10:00I had a fab fun weekend thanks!

I think I will look to nature a lot more now...and I agree that sometimes nature just gets it so right and so perfect that there is not much point trying at all!
