I like how you flipped it upside down, because at first glance, it just looks like a girl wearing a necklace and crying gravity-defying tears... It's more subtle this way. More interesting.
Nice work!

Thank you! It is a scale, which is the sign for the astrological sign Libra
Libras keyword is balance...hence "eye balance"
Thank you for the fav & for adding me to your friends list!
