Lovely to see more of your work. I see your point about durability but I wondered if you have to use some sort of fixative when you have finished?

I'd like to see these in the flesh; up close; live. They are so amazingly life-like.

Such incredibly beautiful and detailed drawings! I've been drawing for 60 of my 64 years, and have never achieved such wonderful expertise as this. Truly splendid work.
