I like your use of the lace overlay, and how it almost seems to pixelate the painting. The patterns and textures fit together so well. β₯
I also love the quote that you've used - 'it is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves'. Where's it from?

The quote is actually a common misquote of Shakespeare: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings ..." (Julius Caesar)

Ahh yes, being a literature student I probably should've recognised that.
It's beautiful, regardless, and works really well in this piece.

Gorgeous. Love the layers. And really "kanchan."

Oh! Did you know how much I love Waterhouseβs girls!
The minute I saw this I was in love (before I knew it was in βFramed).
How did you get the soft focus, blurred effect in the centre? Itβs gorgeous, like a memory.
I am absolutely stunned, to think I will have this in my hands one day, well β¦

It's the effect of the acetate transparency over the lace packing tape.
