I think I have a brainy body and a muscle head.
My jewellery rendering is pissing me off. It's really hard to paint on vellum. The watercolours have a terrible tendency to suddenly lift right off the paper as soon as I come near it with a brush. It's quite frustrating. Still, I think I've gotten the idea of my design across. I'll go see if it'll scan decently....
Nope. It's a crappity scan. But that's what I get for having a crappity scanner. Ah well. You can at least get the idea of what I'm working on!

I've never used gum arabic. I'll look into it.

I plan on developing the line more, as soon as I get the opportunity. In the meantime, I have to begin work on a hollowform bracelet, and I suspect it's going to cause me a lot of stress.
