The Color du Jour

I hope to toss together a necklace from all of these.I've also been playing with chopsticks and I taped a few mandrels on either sid

Another Fallen Woman

This time I'm sticking with blacks and greys. She's got this whole sort of nightmare feel about her already - I hope she turns out nice! If you click on her picture, it brings up a huge closeup of her.I'll ha
