Here she is.  :)  White and black chalk pastel, on Indian ink prepped watercolour paper.

Discovered something...  When you spray such a piece with hairspray to fix the chalk, the Indian ink comes to life, it is so odd.  It re-wets.  It was so very strange, but it's kinda cool, but very unexpected.  I watched it and my heart was wailing, "Noooooooo!"  But it's not so bad.

I've fixed up her mouth, nose and chin a little since this pic.  Am super proud, when I look back and see where I started at the beginning of the year.  I know I have so far to come, but I am so doing it.  That feeling of impending doom I talked about?  This was definitely one of those moment, but I did it.  :D
