Re: Beast In Me site critique -- only it wasn't

Oops... 

Sorry Diane (and Anne) It was my fault... going through each message
without looking at more than the first few words of the subject line.

The Feng Shui site is very pretty, although some of the graphics came out
broken and I'm on a 10Mb link... a reload fixed that. It did perhaps need a
little colour to break up the monotony... not sure how I'd do that, perhaps
a thin border to the background on the left...

I do like the cutout scene, although the dragon was quite unclear. At first
I thought an image of a tree was loading! If it were me, I'd do it again
but without the little scales - just to make the body a little more clear. 

My biggest complaint - I live in Melbourne, Australia and cannot come to
the workshops. Info on Feng Shui is very sparse here and I would have loved
to have read an article or two on diving one's future or use of colour....

For those who can attend, and article like that could give an outline or
server as an appetiser to the workshops... sort of "If you like this and
want to learn more..."

Again, sorry for the confusion.
