What you think of the form? How about the combination of smoother leaves breaking into a very different kind of texture? Do you think this would have benefited from more color? Why or why not?<\/p>\n<p>I think we will make this the last day of entering the drawing by commenting, and I&#8217;ll get you some fun holey and\/or lacy techniques to consider for tomorrow. So, get your thoughts in today. We&#8217;ll get another drawing going soon, but thank you all for participating in this one!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like this blog, support The Polymer Arts projects with a subscription
