    Do you really see this as overworked? I think this is lovely and it looks fresh to me- let us know when the YouTube is accessible.

    Nikki,
    I cannot see where it should be overworked – this is such a pretty child – you have done this wonderfully without turning it into something cliché-like and too cute – just everything in balance. This is one of my favourites so far of this series.

    As usual, when first finishing work we see it much more critically than after not seeing it for a while. I see this now as much softer than any of the others, and unique. The feeling of “overworked” must have come from taking so many photos while working. There was no getting lost in the process; it was awkward taking photos with my left hand – every few minutes – the drawing process was quite superficial in feeling; the confidence level for success was fairly low..very interesting to note the differences.
