A Few Iccle Hiccups!

The course of true love never doth run smooth...and neither does a painting!  Oh she started out so well, my Goddess of Freedom, then yesterday I collaged the dress.  My favorite little piece of paper was too thin and wrinkled when dry.  Then today I decided to paint in the lounge on the coffee table so I could keep Lovely Man company.  BIG mistake.  You see the coffee table is quite low and I sat on the floor.  The bottom of the canvas was quite hard to get at so I decided to turn her upside down.  Then I tried to use a white gel pen, the sort that you push down on the nib to activate the release of ink.  Yup, you guessed it. A large dollop of runny white ink started to run downwards toward her chin.  Panic stricken I tried to dab with a tissue.  The brown 'waterproof' ink that I was using for the detail on the dress decided that it wasn't waterproof after all and smudged onto her shoulder!  So anyhow I have given her first aid, but I may have to schedule her in for more radical surgery, an robust acrylic skin graft, tomorrow!  But this is her for now.  I still love her and already have a space on the wall ready for when she's finished.
