Beautiful

This picture was done by a woman who is now in her 80s - she's one of my patients. She took black paper of some sort, lightly sketched the picture on it and then using a fine gramaphone needle, she painstakingly scratched out tiny tiny lines, thus creating the areas of light and shade that resulted in this picture. The model was a friend of hers called Lorna.

I'm just in love with it.

This is exquisite! Even if I had the talent to do that, I don't think I have the patience.

It just so captures an era...
