Hello everyone! I have become ill with my husband's cold. I tried very hard to avoid him :) Alas, I caught it anyway. After 2 days I thought I was doing better but I am sicker than ever right now. I wanted to let you know in case you don't see me commenting and browsing. Hopefully I will in a few days. I had to cancel my entry into the chili cookoff for Sunday at our club. I got second place last year. First time I won for my chili. I changed the recipe and was hoping to place again this year as well. I post an old pic to go with this message. It is a Bryce5.5 scene with no postwork except framing and sig. The bird and fish are made of metaballs and primitives. I used global lighting with the atmosphere turned off. I think it's really cool how the different textures on the metaballs blend into each other. Ok then, I'm off to sleep for a bit. Hugs!
