Color Fix

Finally finished a color fix. Wanna see? As I've mentioned the Linda M Pooles color fixes on her blog just get my creative thought process going.  I see them and can almost see them worked out in thread.  It's so real that I can almost touch it.  Well now I can.  I don't remember which… Continue reading Color Fix
