The reusable item is this......................then wrapped some canvas paper around it ready for painting.
For those of you who haven't visited the Royal Shakespeare Theatres in Stratford I thought you might like to see this photo. All three of the theatres are now like this inside - very much like the famous Globe Theatre in London.
At the moment am busy decoupatching a box ( Cath Kidston style ) for my sister's birthday which is taking me ages as it has to have so many layers of modge podge, hopefully I will get the wet and dry sanding done by the weekend, then the rest is decorating. Had the decorations all planned when unfortunately my dear old Cuttlebug decided it didn't want to cut anymore so have ordered a Big Shot; grumpy old husband said " well thats your birthday present sorted "........hmmmmmmmmm thats what he thinks..................lol
Thank you for popping in and hope you have a lovely weekend, take care of yourselves. Hugs Annette xx
Just popped back to say have finished the painting and have put it on my Facebook page if you would like to look............xx

Lovely painting, I love everything from Vermeer, and you have done justice to his 'Lady with the Earring' Glad you had a good time in Stratford on Avon. Now have fun with your Big shot! Valerie
This is really lovely Annette. Well done for doing the sketch whilst you were away. That would have taken up my whole visit if I'd tried it, lol! Sorry to hear about your 'Bug' but I don't think you'll regret getting a Big Shot. The only slight downsides compared to the Bug are that it takes up a bit more room and doesn't fold up so is not as portable but I wouldn't swap mine.
Look forward to seeing that fab sounding box.

Love your interpretation of that beautiful lady and how clever to have drawn it while you were away.
Good choice on the big shot.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs Brenda xox
Great painting. Hope you had a great holiday. :)
This is fabulous Netty, well done! Did you ever watch the film (and or read the book of the Girl with the pearl earring?)It's one of my all time favourites. Good luck with your Big Shot, like Lesley says, it takes up more room then the bug, but I reckon it's worth it. I finally got mine last month and though it takes getting used to, I love it!
Your painting is gorgeous Annette.xxx
looking good Annette.
Have a fab weekend x
Netty this is fantastic.
Your painting rock.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend.

Very nice girl with the pearl earring. I love how she is your own. Happy PPF
What an exciting, vibrant portrait, Netty! Your visit to Stratford on Avon sounds wonderful. We missed you last week and are happy you are back with great art. Good luck on the decoupaged box.
She's wonderful! You are a whiz at faces.
You have no idea how much we love England and would love to go back. Now to your wonderful painting - a copy of Vermeer and his Girl with a Pearl Earring - I think. I love all that you do and it is a real joy to follow you - wonderful work!

Lovely painting, you've done a good job!! Sorry to hear about your bug, I love mine to bits. And as for your new Bigshot - well, what is it about men that they don't understand the difference between things you have to have and presents? Cindy x
The girl with a pearl earring is beautiful... have you read the book? , I have lido book and I saw the movie, the two are wonderful. Saludos
I recognize the girl with the pearl too. You did her justice well.

Love your rendering of the "Girl with the Pearl Earring"! Goood job! Have you seen the movie, Colin Firth as Vermeer? It's great! HPPF!
Oh she is lovely Netty. S x
Such a pretty painting my friend. Looks like you had a great time while on vacation.
Hugs~
She looks great! I'd love to see the finished painting but I don't see a link to your FB page anywhere.
That's one beautiful lady, Nettie. My wife and I used to go to Shachespere in The Park productions in Ft. Worth, Texas, during the Summers. However, we now live too far away to attend them. :(
I'd love to go to the theatre in Shakespeare's hometown. Was it terrific?
The new painting is great. Now I want to go watch the movie again.
I can see why you liked both the painting and that beautiful theatre! thanks for visiting:)
Great interpretation. I love how you can find inspiration every where! Popping over to see your finished painting x
Wonderful, thanks for sharing the photo too. Hope you had a nice trip, Ev
Great job, and all the comments on the book make me want to go read it!
I love this painting, I enjoyed the movie about it, and have been wanting to read the book. Love Vermeer.
What a fabulous painting.... she is stunning. I loved Stratford when I went a few years back - didn't go to the theatre though :( It looks wonderful.
Enjoy playing with your unbirthday present!
