Sunday Sketches - Blue Topaz

These are some blue topaz earrings I did for Sunday Sketches in my art journal (7"h x 5"w) in watercolour pencil. Son K bought this for his girlfriend for Christmas. But they seem to be drifting apart, and the earrings may never end up being given to the intended recipient! They are gorgeous anyway, K has good taste. Actually he hopes to give it to her at some point, even if it's just a friendship gift in the end.

Beautiful earrings. :) I like how you used dense crosshatching around the jewelry box and the stark contrast of the white box with the full page of pink.

I love the blue earrings! I guess if it's meant to be for your son and his girlfriend it will work out in the end.

Blue topaz are the prettiest! I hope it works out the way you son would like. :-)

he might as well, if he gets another girlfriend in the future she'd probably be mad it wasn't originally for her.

I love topaz, too. I own a blue topaz ring and pendant.

This is lovely. Hard enough watching them deal with their emotional things, as our own!

Great sketch. How sad that they are drifting, but that's the way of young relationships sometimes.

Great sketch! I'm sorry to hear about K's drifting relationship, but I like his positive attitude. Happy New Year!
