I painted with acrylics; 3 or four layers for the girls and a watery wash of paint for the background. I attatched a loop of ribbon to the top so I could hang it up.
Nice work! You know, I am not really a Jane Austin fan, even though I have read her novels. If I had to pick though, _Northanger Abbey_ is my favorite. I like the Gothic elements, even though they are almost silly at times. Regardless, you've got more egg paintin' talent than I will ever have!
I liked the TV program a lot. I haven't actually read the book, just seen the adaptation, so I can't say how close to the story it stays, but I thought it was very good. Persuasion was excellent as well.
I watched Persuasion online this weekend, but haven't seen Northanger Abbey yet. I expect to like it more than the book, which is my least favorite Austen book. I saw the first few minutes of it, and really liked the way we were shown the gothic imaginings in Catherine's head. Then I will have to read the book again to see if the program helped me like it better. :-)
Out of the 3 adaptations they showed on ITV recently I enjoyed Northanger the most. I loved the gothic stuff as well. Just wanted it to go on much longer.

These eggs are really pretty and eastery (is that a word.....?)
How did you like the ITV program? I have had internet troubles so I have not been able to look at it yet.
Thanks!
