Diva challenge Week#9 "Artoo"

I am slow at posting this weeks challenge.And boy was it a challenge for me. I had a hard time with this one. I could not make it look right. I felt like it kept looking like a very messy child drawing..scribbles so to speak. but I kept plugging a long and I think finally made something worth posting.
I did one little tile first.and then kept going.
I traced tiles into my drawing book and had six on a page...not really going anywhere I started with my first tile. Trying to get this Artoo looking right. then I remembered a quote I had seen in the past and felt that it fit.

I am feeling very sentimental anyway.You see I have a son who is a senior in high school this year. He has grown up way to fast. He came to us a few weeks ago with his idea that he felt ready to move on..this I mean, he had earned enough credits to graduate. Oh my! I am feeling overwhelmed now.  My only child will graduate a whole 3months early from high school. He is done from high school on the 25th of February.
So I guess this weeks challenge is sort of a tribute to my "baby".
ENJOY!!!!

    Believe me, it is hard to imagine that my baby is old enough to be this old. He is an only child and I cant imagine going through this more than once.
