Those are some of the best pictures that I've ever seen of that material! The cabs are gorgeous; each and every one of them. Your use of shapes capture the beauty in each one.
Another GOREGOUS batch of Cabs. I'm sure it's a treat for all the members of your rock club each month to see your work. My favs.... #2, 5 and 7!

There is a man standing in the fifth on down from the top, could be the devil naked in front of a fire, his hand is up to his mouth, I can't tell if he is eating some kind of flesh or he is smelling it.
They are all very nice, Thanks for showing me.

I thought Gary green also when I first saw it. I guess I am used to seeing varisite on its own without beautiful patterns like that. Amazing cabs! Fran
