I certainly want to see it for real. I am kind of glad I was not copying a fake bridge. I was just drawing a beautiful bridge that someone had the mind's eye to make up and draw. I always hoped I would be as good an artist and make up my own wonderful bridge. Oh, I must some day come and draw "Ashness Bridge". I wrote Derwent a long time ago about the pictures on the tins. I do not remember there ever being a paper stating the creation of the piece of work. I sincerely hope that the catalogue tells the story of "Ashness Bridge" and the artist they chose to recreate the scene fresh and new for all of us. Brilliant! Katherine! My compliments to the Masons and brick layers and the person that took the time to build such a beautiful piece of work for all to see and draw. <BR/>I am going to copy this one with a joy! Which electric eraser do you use? Also, I have a clear pencil sharpner in the triangle shape It is clear with color for the sharpners and the seperation parts. It is simply marked, 'Made in Germany'.Quilt knithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055441899074240808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-19247735181241598482007-11-16T06:06:00.000+00:002007-11-16T06:06:00.000+00:00Congratulations on this honor!
