A Labour of Love

I have been lucky to have enough leave saved up to have taken a few extra weeks off over Christmas, unfortunately reality will set in early this coming Thursday morning :(  

However I was determined whilst on leave to work more on my copic colouring and tackle one of the larger images I had printed off over the last few months.

I chose Pearl from the Make it Crafty store, I was determined not to let those gorgeous folds in her dress get the better of me.

I started out with Copic colours R81, R83, R85 and R89 and then to add in even more depth I used my 110.

Due to the size, and me being unable to sit for super long periods of time before my back gives in I had to tackle this project in stages....

Last night I sat down to try and finish the pink section of her dress, by the time I got up it was quarter to 3 in the morning, where the hell did the time go???  Not only did I finish the pink, but I started on the teal edgings and ribbons - BG000, BG01, BG05 and BG09

Tonight she is finished :)  So incredibly happy with the end product.  Due to her size, miss Pearl will never make it on a card, but I think I'll buy her a gorgeous frame and put her up on my wall :)

Thanks for stopping in
