very good heather - see you found an alternative to the pencils!

[Heather]

this was my other idea, im still thinking of a way of doing pencils without colour ones lol

[Thisisme]

look forward to seeing that one too then!

by the way - what is the white reflective surface you have used? Mine was a lightbox, but it is quite small and I struggled to not get the black edges in too, I just wondered what you had used?

A similar question was posed on another forum recently.........one brilliant IDEA that works every time is to use very clean gloss ceramic tiles.

I was able to buy two large ones from my local tile shop, one a very glossy black and the other white.......have a dig through their samples boxes.

The beauty of a glossy tile is that there is no glass thickness to cause an apparent gap between subject and its reflection.

I am guessing there may be gloss black plastic sheet available too.....or eve.......polished granite off cuts from a kitchen work top.

great tip about the tiles Heather, I can see me taking a look around the local DIY shop for a couple of suitable specimens

[Heather]

your welcome Colin, although in the interest of fairness i should point out it was Richard that thought of it not me, i just gained from it ;)

[Thisisme]

well thanks to both of you Richard for the idea and Heather for sharing - I shall be visiting the tile shop soon!
