Post by: Dawn F on August 18, 2008, 15:52:22 PM: she has the picture of Tiggy on her blog, it is fantastic! I'm really thrilled she will have time to do it, Amber is a funny little thing, because she is brindle torti her face is mostly black but one quarter is very bright ginger and I thought she would be very difficult to capture but looking at how well Tiggy came out I have high hopes

Post by: Dawn F on August 18, 2008, 16:04:46 PM: tbh Gillian just getting anything down on paper will be good, she looks different in every photograph we have and often looks very british and round faced when she is actually has quite an oriental slim face - anyway see what you make of the photos I send

I have put a few photos in the post, I hope they are ok, I tried again this morning to get a clear shot of her but as soon as she sees the camera she runs towards it to try and rub her head on it! If you can't work from them let me know and I'll try again
