While working in the diary of templates this week I have been more mindful of its ruled pages, how I add painted areas of opaque white, and where the paper does or doesn't figure in the image. I am aware that the work on paper is more delicate than this particular one on wood, which is another aspect I would like to address in future; to make the veneers work as delicate, I need to understand my materials as well as I understand them on paper. In the mean time, B was delighted with his card/gift, and had a very happy birthday, which was the most important thing.
