Highly textured mixed media painting comprised of stacked arches, looking a bit like a Roman aqueduct or an ancient structure

My photo shows a famous wall painting from Pompeii known as the Sappho fresco. It shows the head and upper body of a young woman framed inside a painted circular border. She faces forward. Her eyes are large and dark, gazing to one side with a calm and thoughtful expression, as if pausing mid-thought. Her skin is pale, and her hair is dark brown and tightly curled, forming small ringlets around her face. A thin golden hairnet holds her curls in place. She wears small gold hoop earrings, and a brown cloak over a green garment. In her right hand she holds a thin dark metal stylus (writing tool) up against her lips, as if thinking about what to write. In her left hand she holds a small rectangular wooden wax writing tablet. The fresco is now on display at the Muso Archeologico Nazionale in Naples

The ‘Sappho’ fresco from Pompeii.

A beautiful Roman portrait of a young woman for #InternationalWomensDay

She holds a writing tablet, and raises a writing stylus to her lips in thoughtful contemplation. 55-70 AD.

Small square abstract painting. Light blue smears of spackle applied in a semi uniform grid like pattern on a square wood panel painted green gold. Black glaze coats the bottom half lending darkness and weight and showing the texture of the spackle.

Are you using something like crochet thread to make them into pendants? I like the elongated ones that are sort of suspended in webbing.
