Same technique used on the sleeve by Grace Faerie

I've used this successfully many times
With sheer fabric as one of the layers

Sorry about the links to images. Stupid Flickr still hasn't fixed that problem.

Wow, that would certainly solve the problem of finding spider web stuff in the right scale.

Not a 'problem' per se:

To go directly to the image I right-click in Firefox and choose "View Image", and that url is the image url (I imagine a similar result may be had in IE by selecting 'properties' and taking the image url from there, iirc). However, I can't blame FlickR for wanting traffic thru their site - gotta keep the bizniss rollin' somehow.

I just thought about it this would be a great way to do butterfly/fairy wings.
