Connie-Magnificent Maggie


I've been anxious to ink up this beautiful Sweet Pea image by Elaine Cox
titled "Maggie" for some time.
You will find her (plus others) on
plate #85
by clicking


I tried my hand at airbrushing the entire image, touching
up here and there.  I found that more control is needed
than simply masking.  I also found that I need more
practice!
My method was to tear a paper scrap and move it around and spray
thus keeping color more or less where I wanted it.

I added some gems to the flower centers and also airbrushed
some cream-colored flowers to match my colors.
Flowers are by Gartner "Ivory Shimmer"
and pearls are from my stash.

Thanks for looking!
Connie
