Hello!

I hope everyone is doing well.  I am finally back on nights and adjusted and have a lot of projects to do.  Very excited!  I just finished "Nathan and Piper" and added their pictures below.  It is an 11x14 with 2 separate pictures on it.  Both pictures are 5x7.  This was incredibly hard for me.  The original background paper is a cream color.  I found doing 5x7 to be hard since the features were so small.  Nathan's features especially, adorable little squint of his made it very hard to get to come through.  Plus color pencils smear, I love that about them.  But once I would start working on another section or the other picture it would smear.  I actually got to the point on Nathan's picture where his face stopped taking ink.  Once I had everything done, the cream color background just did not work.  So I colored in the background black as if it was a mat.  Overall I think it turned out well, unfortunately my picture taking doesn't show it justice.   I had troubles with glare.  But I was afraid to scan it since my scanner is smaller and I didn't want to take a chance of wrinkling the picture.    I know this is a learning process and I planned to get as much practice and learn as much as I can.  

If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear from you.  That is how you learn :o)
