Thank you Mary!
I just tried some floral compressions the other night, inspired by the pics posted by you and istandalone in other threads. I've done lots of frit and dot implosions and compressions but never tried the florals. They came out pretty weak. I have to get better at stringer control on the Cheetah. I'm accustomed to the Lynx. All my lines ended up too close together. I guess starting with a bigger maria would probably help, but I was trying to stick with a smaller finished product. The advice about picking and raking will help.
I'm wondering if you do anything in particar to get that color bleed on the petals, other than layering? Do you ever use a "twisty"?
