The locket is now done, finished during 60 Minutes, and before fresh mackerel for dinner. It is still up for grabs. Amazing how a bit of "bling" in the right place finishes a drawing.
My french photo for the day is of a bit of bling and lace I bought in Dinan on a cold wet market day. I was feeling a bit blue trudging back to the studio until I saw this dove grey lace. It wasn't cheap but I knew it had to be mine. The bling is from an old skirt.
I have worn this lace tons of times ever since and each time I do, it makes me feel good. A bit like looking at an old painting. They become your friends you pull on in times of need.

Hi Cynthia...would love to have you hang out. there is a subcribe button if you scroll way down the blog. Thanks for nice words too...
Julie,,,thanks. I hven't forgotton your last "won" drawing. How do I get the bling in there? I really don't know. I just push and pull, kinda scrath the white over the dry paper, until I see that bling appear. Sometimes I just have to go for it and not over-think it too much.
I love your bling - very sparkly! Except the "portrait" doesn't really look anything like you!! LOL
