Good job!!

Thanks Dianned! I went to your site to look around, and you have a very nice site! I love Monty the cat!!! How did you digitize him? He looks so real and just like his picture! What software did you use on him? I am a pet lover too, and I would like to stitch out some of my beloved pets who have gone on to pet heaven. What a wonderfull idea!

I drew a picture of Monty from the photo in Paint Shop Pro, reducing him to basic colour areas, then saved it as a bitmap and used Janome Customiser 2000 (which is all I've got) to digitise him. He was pretty straightforward to draw as he's well demarcated black and white: I did my three dogs as well, they were much harder to do as they're more complex in colouring (have a look at http://diannescraftbox.bravehost....) and I have a cat who is a mixture of tortoiseshell, tabby and white who I haven't plucked up courage to try to do yet!! Love and a flower from Dianne x xx

I do all my art work in Paint Shop Pro, I always have and it's all I know! I don't know why you can't get into my new website, I've just checked it and it's OK. Did you paste it into your browser bar? You can't find it in a Google search because it's not been online long enough! Love and a flower from Dianne x x x
