Ray, Howdy;

Read the name at the bottom of the wheel. They have a huge selection of wheels and other stuff.
Think I'll get this one;

Ray, Howdy;

I think one of my step-sons would probably be about your age (his Mom is the same age as me).

I do try to stay young in thought though... :D

Hi Mark, My personal favs are the 2nd and the last ties. :D I like the addition of the glass beads and think that the paddle tail on the snowflake fly is very interesting, shame the collar is not fuller. I hope your visit to the Doc goes well and that you find answers and more importantly get back on track, take care mate.

You just couldn't keep a secret could you? :evil: Now everyone has access to my secret colour wheel, the one that got me through my graphic design degree!!!
I wouldn't have minded sharing it with you but exposing the whole gang to it. What were you thinkin mate?

I guess that answers Rays question, I use the backplates on a colorsaurus. :oops: The colourwheels Ray uses are scary, far too much writing, geometic shapes and shades of colours.! I couldn't make sense of them if I tried, I need pictures on mine. :?

WOW! With all due respect to the wonderful creations I have seen come from your vise, Mark, for me this is the all-time winner.
