Myrtle Polished

(Preview)
Myrtle has been cut and polsihed to an inch of her life. Looking very shiny. Have also stripped off most of the ugly brown stripes down the side which were tacky and broken. Thank you to Ken Thomas for all your hard work today. Can only get one photo up at a time. Tried more and it wouldn't go through.
