  17. Excellent take on the challenge and I love the crispness of this piece, Marie! It's got quite a 'strict' feel to it... (if that makes sense?)

  18. Your lady has such a pensive look, I wonder what it is she wants to know when she fits that key in the lock. Beautiful Marie, and as always so beautifully crafted. Nothing less than exquisite.
