Vive les Reines!



I have a thing for powdered wigs and all that.
I thought I'd carry on with the pencil, black & white with ribbons of pink. I hope you like it Lisa, and get ready Marty, we are on our way to you tomorrow!

I love it. So much hair. So much clothing. You two don't look particularly happy about it.

I'm ready for it, though I have three books to finish.

Wow! This is astonishing!

Thanks Marty and Jan!

Yes, comme d'habitude, there is drama at court.

(Hence the expressions)

Oh, I love how you continued pencil back&white style! This book looks so harmonic!
Beautiful work, Szaza!

Ha!! I love it Samantha!! I thought our expressions were due to the lack of oxygen. And my, what wonderful hair duos we have. (I haven't seen my hair that big since the 80's ;-)Beyond the obvious beauty of our costumes I especially adore the bird form behind us. I looks to me that it might be the shadow of my bird cast on the wall behind us, yet it still carries the ribbon in it's beak. Thank you Samantha! I am loving how my moly is turning out. :D

Beautiful continuation of the bird and ribbon thems. Also, I see a bit of Lady Orlando influence in the softly glowing pink cheeks. What fun.

I think you both look totally awsome all dreesed up like that, and beautiful, of course :D

I love the soft colours in contrast with the black bird in the background ^^

Rosy cheeks rules!!! :D

Thanks everyone!

I am so happy you like it Lisa!
A lack of oxygen combined with court dramas makes for interesting expressions. I guess that's why ladies often hid their faces behind fans.

I wanted to do a very "powdered" look with super-subtle colour, and rouge on the cheeks seemed a perfect place to add a little extra pink :)
