Challenge #31


My collection. I collect antique face powder compacts. The first one I ever received was from my Dad. I was 16 and I fell in love with it. I still have it along with about 200 more. I have some of them displayed in an antique round cabinet in my living room. My grandsons love to open it and bring me a compact. As long as grammy dosen't freak out I just tell them how pretty it is and to put it back, they will.

I want to commet on my own sketch. I just noticed the small square compact on the right...the detail is almost the same on the right as it is on the left!!! I was having trouble doing the same thing on opposite sides.

Kathy,

What an unique collection. And not an easy thing to draw, but you did a good job. Can't wait to see some more.
