Off with Her Head

Yeah, It's just been one of those weeks... hotter than the fires of hell, no air conditioning in the house and no well working computer or internet. I just had to behead someone... and that someone happens to be Elisabeth Farnese.

Before you ask, no she was not actually beheaded in real life, she actually died of old age at 73... but I just got in the mood to cut someone's head off and she got to be the lucky lady.

And I also know what you are going to ask, "If she was beheaded why is her hair still hanging down, what is it hanging from?"... well ya just gotta use your imagination here, maybe she was beheaded so fast her hair stuck to her neck in all the blood... yeah, I have spent far too much time thinking about this!

I also made this in a larger version of 1100x860, and just shrank it down to be more esthetically pleasing... you can view the larger one here: [link]
