Hi guys,
Here's one more from the end of last year that I was pretty happy with. A Celtic girl headstock on a cittern. Many of you have seen it already, but a lot of you don't do the facebook thing so this is for you. The headstock girl is pearls and stone and pink ivory, the fretboard girl is pearl and stone, and the water gold pearl and sterling silver.

Thanks,
Craig

Faces are still challenging though.. Fish are easier.. :lol:

Wow!
I still love the way you do water...or the suggestion of it.
Very artistic.

If it came to a vote, I'd have you stick to the beautiful women. Every one you do seems just a bit more 'alive' than the last one, and they're really outstanding now!
