I really, really like it. Well done. ...I like it. I really, really like it. Well done. I think that "going with your gut" is almost always the right way to go, even it if does require pulling out the seam ripper. You made your warm and cool tones play very, very nicely together. Give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back, because you done good :).<br /><br />I took art in high school. And college. One of my assignments in high school was to do a <a rel="nofollow">pointallism</a> in black & white. I picked a picture of a very pretty woman's face from a magazine and spent quite a lot of time on my picture. It turned out quite well, if I do say so myself. Our teacher hung our finished assignments on the back wall for a while. After a few weeks, he told us we could go and take our pictures down. I went back to get mine and someone from an earlier class had taken it. I still, to this day, don't know why someone would take my assignment.<br /><br />The other thing I remember from art class is being required to draw thumbnail sketches, which I thought was pointless. I kind of get it now ;).<br /><br />I don't know if you could call it a regret, per se, because it wasn't like I had the opportunity and passed it up, but I wished I'd learned shorthand. They didn't teach it in my high school, and as I recalled, when you got to college, you already had to know shorthand in order to take a shorthand class.<br /><br />I've taken up way too much of your comment space (good thing there isn't a limit) with my "brain dump." Perhaps I should go back to my own little corner of the blog-o-sphere and put something down there.<br /><br />I love what you did with Tea Towel Tess. Very nicely done, indeed.<br /><br />xo -EElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-63673297913797232382013-03-21T23:05:09.598-05:002013-03-21T23:05:09.598-05:00It was a struggle but I was able to read it too an...It was a struggle but I was able to read it too and I haven't used shorthand in over 30 years.
