« on: September 15, 2011, 10:20:39 pm »
hi all i haven't been doing much scrolling the last 2 months.do to the eye surgery i had.the dr. says the pressure is still a little higher then he would like but it is coming down slowly.he also said do to my eye problems i'm legally blind and i'm going to have good days and bad days but i'm not going to let that stop me. i'm not doing any complex work at this time like portraits etc.i am doing small projects like the Christmas ornaments. here's a couple of compound ornaments i did.

They look great.  I have tried compound cutting but we don't get on well together so now I steer clear.  Sorry to hear about your eye, lets hope you get more good days than bad.
