Lost in Thought

Still another piece in my "Visions" project: an ongoing exploration of fantasy; pre-Raphaelite; and Victorian classicism inspired images. While the original of this image was in color, the more I looked at it, the more it reminded me of some melancholy heroine from a Victorian serial...

With that in mind, I reworked the image, trying to make it look like an illustration from an antique book--one of those illustrations where you're not *quite* sure if it's a drawing/painting, or a photograph...

On thing that I particularly like about this image--well, this costume, in general--is that the neckline is a border of soft reindeer moss.
