What was your inspiration?

My Mum loves Border Collies and this picture was bought and made specifically for her 7oth birthday celebrations. I decided not to use the frame that was included in the set as I found it a bit too cutesy but I think it works well in this grey and black border.

What are you most proud of?

That my mum was thrilled with her picture

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure you leave yourself lots of time, it took me ages to do this picture!

Looks just like my dog, Angus! I can't get over the different shades of black and gray. That looks like a hard project!
