Cat,
I've been watching your keyboard art with curiosity for a few days now,
I was a little taken aback by your "Chicks with beards" graphic. You see,
I saw the quote marks as a clavical, the circle as the belly button and then
there
is that beard thing, well you get the picture. But I am relieved to find
out
it is really an Airedale.;-0

To keep this on topic, are you photographing the plate from above?

Ohhhh my goodness LOL I never saw this ROFLMAO now now angela where
is your mind thanks for the n'yuk n'yuks !!! any how this is my
puppy Curly and what passes as a cat ... the reference to chicks with beards
rule is the fact that I am of the age that all my friends are getting beards

ON topic the platters are shot mostly mid level and duct tape not
masking tape used .. I Wanna see the whole thing, not from an angle... I'll
gladly send a picture to anyone that wants to see it or send it to someone that
knows how to put it on a web site so it can be seen for lots of folks... I
