Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes?

Nope, just metallic floss, which might be harder to make happen. Have you ever worked with this stuff? It's a challenge, folks--the strands appear to hate one another and hope to remain as far apart as possible at all times, which makes knotting the stuff near impossible. But sometimes--for the silvery tootsies of a bride, say--it's worth the effort.
In a marathon session yesterday, I managed to finish this wedding portrait (and yup, that's the bride, decked out in purple and red--awesome, right?), whilst A. watched football (streaming from the internet--who knew?) with her dad. The running commentary was a little distracting (like, at one point, A. said, "That guy's butt cheeks just wiggled."), but I did it, and the results are, I think, bright and joyful. Phew.
