She used to be surrounded by trash, but I love how the greens and the simple background just draw you into her emotion filled eyes. hee-hee!

I just received my pic back from pamplemousse, and I LOVE IT!!
It's an awsome 70's throwback with this really cool knitted mushroom.
Thanks so much!

Yay! I'm so happy you liked it- I was worried it might be too over the top.

This is what silloh_77 sent to me:



And this is what I sent back:





I'm especially proud of my mushroom! This swap was so much fun!!! (and sorry for all the crappy pics- I don't know why I am so bad with a digital camera...)

Here's what I did for Emerald:

BEFORE:


AFTER:


Left Side:


Right Side:


I tried to compliment the existing picture, as well as reflect on the Victorian era.  I used a key cabinet from IKEA, took off the door and painted and embellished it to my heart's content.  The image of the woman on the left side is actually a picture of the artist who painted the original painting.  The typing in the bottom left corner of the box is a definition of the Impressionist movement - which this painting is from.

Emerald sent me an AWESOME picture too!  I'll post before and after's tommorow.
