Can you help me think of something ?

19 years ago

The ACEO group (mini paintings)I'm in , has a "theme week" contest - with a different subject each month. This month's theme is "Something with scales".... Besides fish ,snakes and dragons - my mind is a complete blank.

(Maybe a weight watchers meeting -- LOL ) Get it -- scales

....weigh yourself ...

( See -I'm grasping at straws !) Can you think of something ????

I always think of "Lady Justice" she has scales in her hands and is usually blindfolded

or the zodiac sign for Libra is also scale related. Then you have Music Scales...

It is harvest here - And I have to drive my grain truck across the scales with every load - weight it full and weigh it empty - maybe you could do a harvest scene? That is a stretch! LOL
