Bentwood box nuns in progress

[sister_raphael]

I've been working on these jolly nuns for quite some time and I've been struggling to get a background I like that works and doesn't overpower the nuns, and here's where it's at. Kinda like it like this, to be honest.



I tried it with the cream or light background to match the manuscript page but it really didn't work that well, so I opted for colour, then cross hatching, then decorated and now back to just plain in a more muted shade of blue.

I like this best so far.

I've often wondered about that willie tree! :o)
