It's comming back to me

I only work half days on Mondays (9 hours the rest of the week), so I didn't have much time yesterday to do a whole lot. Today I am making progress on my first designs. I am doing all the designs in gray-scale at this time. It allows me to imagine the end product being available using any tinted topcoat we have. Besides that, I am no good at deciphering today's hot color trends. I feel I have made real progress in developing the basic concepts, and am even remembering some of the tricks I had figured out over the years regarding patterns, swatches, and path finder uses. I hope to have some basic images to share soon.
