Texture added....because that's what I do! It will take some practise to get anything at all in focus, but if it was easy it wouldn't be so much fun

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of imperfect optics, Fiona!
As a matter of detail, which lens is it in the Composer mount? I'm guessing that it might be a Sweet, or possibly one of the simple lenses (f/2 with two elements is interesting!)
For anyone in doubt, I'd suggest getting a Lensbaby Spark as a first step - £80, and gives you the full-on Lensbaby experience, with a flexible mount.

Great results from this Fiona. It gives beautiful results and has the richness of colour that reminds me of Manet's floral paintings.

I'm not sure. Maybe B or M could advise if they see this. There is no additional optic i.e. no Sweet, just whatever the Composer has. You have to put those little aperture rings in it if that's a clue.
I also have an old Muse on loan from another friend but have found the bellows extremely difficult. You need 3 hands
Do you happen to know what difference I should see btw Composer and Muse?
A beautiful result achieved Fiona.

Hi, Fiona -
The difference between Composer and Muse is simply how they work: squishy bellows or mechanical and lockable. The rest depends on which lens unit is fitted: something I didn't realise until I'd owned my Muse for five years or so, and found the lens was removable, if you have the right tool (which is actually just the base of a Lensbaby lens case, with the clear plastic top removed).
The more modern lenses, like the Sweet, are removable without the tool. If you can see a coloured band on the lens, that tells you which lens it is (though I'll have to look it up!).
Maybe I should post a blog with illustrations of the options... Would that help?

You are dead right...there is a lime green ring. I look forward to the blog. Any information will be useful.
I have a set of macro adapters waiting for me at the post office (Ordered from Wex 4pm yesterday, attempted delivery 9.05 thismorning. Amazing) Exciting but I suspect might make the job even harder. I presume I will need to use an aperture ring thingy as well as a macro adapter??

I assume it's a set of two extension rings - they fit between the lens and the Composer. They come in the same container as the current lenses do, so you should have the tool for unhitching the lens.
Even less DoF, of course - and you can still use the aperture rings in the lens itself.
I'm less sure if you have got the close-up lenses, which I think are sized for the current lenses.
