    1. Ne ho fatto un altro, di colli, con questa tecnica: è ancora più bello! Domani lo inserisco. Ti consiglio assolutamente di provare, ci sono ottimi video su YouTube, molto chiari. Ma non mollare se ti sembra che non ti venga fuori nulla, bisogna provare un po'...vale la pena, perchè davvero si crea un bellissimo capo in 1 oretta. ;)
