    Finished my cards, so I'd like to join! For the third one I decided to do something a bit different and drew Marie Antoinette after she was imprisoned in the tower by the revolutionaries.

    Btw, if anyone is interested in biographies of Marie Antoinette, I read Queen of Fashion by Caroline Weber recently, and it is excellent.

    These are really sweet natashamay.

    I find it interesting that in most of her potraits she has grey hair and looks quite old and yet she died at only 38. She had a very priviledged life, so what must an ordinary woman have looked like? Well worn springs to mind.
     
    According to some biographies I have read, her hair was really a strawberry blonde color. The white and greyish tones come from the practice of powdering wigs or real hair at that time.
     
    I love to play.

    Here are my cards. I assure you the bling(glitter) in the photos are nicer in person. My cards didn't photograph that well and my scanner is broke.

    I will get these mailed off sometime this week.
