I would have suggested since you have the dress in the second accent line to color the one you bleached so it looks like a planned pattern. After all it is art.

It looks gorgeous and you eyes look wonderful

Well, when at first you don't succeed, try, try again. So that's what I did. One of the Craftsy courses that I am taking is called Thread Art. In it, the project is stitching the "Girl with the Pearl Earring" (see initial post here - http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t196820.html). As you can see, the eyes didn't turn out too well. So, I started all over. Eyes are MUCH better, but somehow I managed to spread color across the effect lines, or what-ever they're called. So I tried the Tide stick, got some of it out. And in one of my brighter moments (NOT!), I decided that Clorox on a Q-tip would work. Well, it also bleached the fabric. So I may end up coloring the accent lines, but thought that I would go ahead and post it while I'm waiting for the Clorox to dry. Ha!

Anyway...

I bought that class also. I think the instructor is awesome and so nice. I haven't started a picture yet, just a bit too busy right now, but I did buy my Prisma colored pencils on Amazon, what a bargin, such low prices compared to anywhere else. Your picture is lovely, and always remember what the instructor told you, that there are no mistakes.

She looks great. I plan to take some Craftsy classes in the fall when my grandchildren are back in school and I won't be watching them all day.
