I would have suggested since you have the dress in the second accent line to color the one you bleached so it looks like a planned pattern. After all it is art.

It looks gorgeous and you eyes look wonderful

So, I started all over. Eyes are MUCH better, but somehow I managed to spread color across the effect lines, or what-ever they're called. So I tried the Tide stick, got some of it out. And in one of my brighter moments (NOT!), I decided that Clorox on a Q-tip would work. Well, it also bleached the fabric. So I may end up coloring the accent lines, but thought that I would go ahead and post it while I'm waiting for the Clorox to dry. Ha!

Anyway...

I bought that class also. I think the instructor is awesome and so nice. I haven't started a picture yet, just a bit too busy right now, but I did buy my Prisma colored pencils on Amazon, what a bargin, such low prices compared to anywhere else. Your picture is lovely, and always remember what the instructor told you, that there are no mistakes.
