But I'd check with what Isis and Camilla wrote; I'm sure their ideas are better sourced than mine ;-)!Arachnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046634430932368520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752234106736354936.post-62115531917736966552008-09-30T12:55:00.000+02:002008-09-30T12:55:00.000+02:00This is lovely work!
