Brayering Difference

This was for someone who doesn't do cute, butterflies or dragonflies. He is what I would describe as an "English Gentleman". This is what I came up with after playing about with the brayer.

Beautiful! Love the brayering and i'm impressed you haven't got stripes (which is always my problem!) I'm sure the recipient will love it! Thanks for joining us at OSCC this week xx
