I hope i'm posting this in the right place. I'm a newbie to posting here and still kinda confused. If it's wrong, please let me know....
anyway....I DID it!!! Yesterday, i trimmed my Druidcraft, and I LOVE it. I will say that it is not perfect ( but I am a recovering perfectionist...LOL) but it is VERY nice. I'm glad i read all the advice in the trimming thread...i seperated the cards where the inner green border blended into the picture and trimmed those first, while my old eyes were sharp. One thing not mentioned was the white edges. I had just as hard a time on the left side of some of the cards where the white-ness blurred. I would advise looking carrefully at each border on each card and seperating the ones that look more difficult....do them first.
The size is MUCH more managable...surprised how much of a difference a little trim makes...and the picutres really do "POP" out at me now....BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
My question now is....is there a way to "finish" the edges? Even before trimming, my version of this deck seemed to have unfinished edges. Also, has anyone found a way to "file" a snag smooth? Maybe with the weak side of an emery board???
Just as a side note...I DID get a blister on my little finger, but not on my thumb...guess that keeps me out of Dire Straits.....ROTFLAMSS
