Viva la Diva!

My submission for the Inspiration Avenue challenge this week - divas!!
Those eyebrows alone would be enough to qualify Bette as a diva, don't you think? 

She always reminds me of Sunday afternoons as a child, watching "Now Voyager" and "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" with my mum!

I started with a pencil drawing I did ages ago, and adjusted it using Picnik to make her just a little more diva-esque! The original is below ...
You'll find all the submissions for this week's theme over at the Inspiration Avenue blog.

  4. Very fun Diva. I'm so impressed with your drawing skills. You don't often show this side of you for IA challenges, and I really, really like it.

    BTW, I read your post on Saltaire. Lovely photos showing a city I will probably never visit in my lifetime.
