Patty, I love the tutorial. Here is one of my better results. I don't have the proper press so I improvised.

Jan - It turned out great! Thanks so much for posting this. Sometimes a more organic shape is better than the "pressed" one, so I think you improvised well.

I meant to tell everyone that I've been trying this design in smaller (and smaller, and smaller) sizes, and it's been fun but challenging to do the really tiny ones (15mm lentil). I'll post pics soon.

P.S. She's upside down. ;-)
