Inktober: Ornate

Inktober Day 17: "Ornate"

Some of the first things that came to mind when I read this prompt were Fabergé eggs and elaborate costumes—like the one Queen Elizabeth I wears in one of her portraits.  (Looking it up, I learned that it’s the portrait painted by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger.)  

Anyway, I decided to doodle a simplified (yes, this is simplified) version of a dog in a similar dress.  

I defy anyone to argue that this isn’t ornate.  ;o)

Welcome!

I’m Michael (a female Michael, to remove any doubt).  I live on the Alabama Gulf Coast with my husband, Donald, and our crazy American Eskimo Dogs. 

I love to fill my spare time with various crafts and other hobbies, and this blog is where I share photos, record my progress, and ramble endlessly.
