Wow those are great ladybird ! Its amazing what people can do isn't it? Did some more pebble painting the other day. We have a pebble that holds the bathroom door open, so I thought I would decorate it to match the bathroom's colour scheme?!

Both so beautiful Sam. Just love the drawing!

ffiscool - not really professionally as such, but I do the odd commission should anyone ask for one! I did used to have a website but they wanted too much money in the end for me to keep it up and running That was the idea to try and make it look like a mandala stone willowsmum, I got the idea and help from here on youtube Mandala Pebble Painitng as I wanted to do it a bit neater and find a tutorial to help me out Thank you suesbird Hezz I used an A4 piece of paper to do this on (its not ordinary paper either) it has a thicker gauge and is more like card, but it is meant for artistic portraits/pictures. Any pictures that are commisions are sent out in a protective sleeve with a card bound envelope so they are delivered flat and un-bent

Given I cannot find the chocolate cake made with ground almonds... I found this one which is virtually the same www.ohnuts.com/blog/flourless-chocolate-cake-for-passover/ - I don't use orange in mine for the glaze on the top: 2 tablespoons apricot jam 150g plain chocolate 75g margarine warm the jam, spread on the cake, this will keep the glaze in place melt the chocolate and marge/butter pour over the cake with the jam on when cake cooling, but still warm, pour the glaze over and let it drip down the sides

Thanks, Sam. I knew it was too good to be on regular paper; I was wondering more about the dimensions. Usually not the case, but I think the beagle looks even more stunning when magnified. That why I asked about its size.
