new gem by @cyntbeeh (Cynthia Beehr)

Wow, here's something I do quite rarely (a front view) and something I've never done before (a closeup)! Well I only did this to show the slight changes I made to Tiarra's gem. The colors now actually swirl together...there's an actual motion. But it doesn't do it constantly, it depends on her emotions and what she's doing. At first I was just going to make it blue istead of red, but I decided to do something a little different so it doesn't look quite so ordinary. And as you can see I changed its shape slightly.

I used gel pens for the gem and for her eyes, so that's why it looks different. Artwork © Copyright 2002 Cynthia Beehr
