Yesterday I...

...updated the last posting on Nancy's turkey canvas with photos.  She was able to fix the problem with her camera.  The photos add a lot to Nancy's explanation of what she has figured out for her canvas.  I'm especially impressed with the way she has her border widen/narrow slightly to make a sort of arrowhead shape in the corners.  Since folks who read Blog through their RSS feeds or readers won't know that article was updated, I'm posting about it here.  This is the direct link to the updated Blog article.
