    Nicely done sir! On this side of the pond, our local Fairs have two or three classes for each group of equipment type: restored examples, standard working equipment, and sometimes equipment that has been modified in special ways for special events. I always enjoy the working equipment that has only been prepped by having the mud and harvesting dust washed off as that is how we saw them working in our rural communities. My grandfather did keep his equipment clean and well maintained, but it was not a showroom piece of equipment. --Solly, lost in lovely memories of old farm equipment

    Absolutely delightful! This grandpap fully appreciates the motivation to recover the youthful feelings of the grandads in the song.

    That was absolutely hilarious! In elementary school we had music class that taught elementary music theory and 'classic' US folk songs (though many of those were British in origin). One song that particularly stuck in my mind because of its sad melody and haunting theme is "The Streets of Laredo." I will now add your most delightful version to my memory of the greatest cowboy songs and never be sad about those Laredo streets again. Well done, Sir!

    Kasper, perhaps the app determined the photo had been taken on St. Patricks day and concluded that the Niagara River had been treated with a dye and was competing with the Chicago River that day.

    This is one of my favorite moths seen many times over more than 60 years of insect watching. Thank you for sharing! —Joseph

    Jos, I answered your question via a private message.

    Kudos! That does look better for the soundboard. You may proceed to your next project now. 😉 PS: You mentioned cedar soundboard, which was new to me (I have always chosen spruce, but they are not classical guitars.) I spent an enjoyable time reading about spruce vs. cedar soundboards. So, thank you for sharing your Designer project and how you did it as well as getting me to check out some new, to me, information about guitar construction and wood choices. It made for a delightful day. 😁 —Solly

    A great first Designer illustration, Lou—I am impressed! If you do an update of this project I recommend you try to give some variation to the grain pattern in the guitar top. I don't think this would be easy, as adding noise to a photo is an easy way to present irregularity, but adding variable spacing between grain lines, some non linearity to the lines, and some variability to grain darkness would really make that spruce top stand out. Congratulations on your first Designer project and best wishes for many more, —Solly

    Jos, like you I really just use Affinity Photo, but I bought all three of version 1 to provide income to the company (for further software development) and to just have fun investigating the other products—whether I really use them much or not. I bought the Universal license for version 2 for exactly the same reasons. I know the company has done some things that have made some people grumpy, but I am sure lessons will be learned and future decisions will be better. Forty years as an educator has taught me that most folk really want to do well but will perform less than desired at times, not due to malicious intent, but due to lack of experience with some feature of the project—a feature they may have not experienced before. Life is full of these bumps for both humans and companies. Life is best when we encourage and help one another to do our best! —Solly

    I really like this representation of the Tree of Life motif—especially the emphasis on the hands reaching out. We all need to be reaching out to one another in support and friendship.

    Thank you for sharing—this brought a smile to my face this morning! 😁
