I love the sweet expression also. I think it’s just extraordinary to be able to work with minitures with such precise eyes and hands.
We actually did an ACEO theme our first year and we had an ACEO master come talk to everyone in the Pub. It was a lot of fun.
And welcome to the Challenge – Julie.

Yes she has a mothers smile and eyes that pull you closer as her rays pick flowers along the way

The smile conquers it all! The mother is protecting from afar as the earth reached and be embraced by her >=P

Wonderful face. Made me smile just seeing it. And I admire the detail in such a small piece.

The mane of the lion in the face of lamb … Who seduced whom. The sun goes his way.

The creation of the earth is gathering around her in appreciation for the life she sustains.
I collect ACEOs and this one is wonderful.

Thank you so much for all the lovely compliments! I use this image as my avatar on several sites, including my Etsy Shop, and my friends won’t ever let me change it! I think maybe they think that’s what I really look like!
