QotD: Lost & Found
What have you lost that you wish you still had?

In 7th grade, I was really into the Phantom of the Opera musical. I had the soundtrack (on tape, natch) and the tie-in book, and the sheet music (yes, I could actually play that DAH! DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH! beginning of the eponymous song). I don't know if I did most of them during spanish class or that just happens to be the class that got stuck in my head, but I drew a bunch of pictures from the photos in the tie-in book and the sheet music, not directly copying Sarah Brightman as Christine, but doing my own take on them. They were pretty good, for a 7th grader, and I was very proud of them. I colored some of them, but most were just heavy pencil with shading, contouring, the works.
And I don't know where they are. I wish I did, so I could look at them and say, huh, they aren't as bad as I thought/these are actually quite hideous. I just wish I knew, either way. I remember that for the longest time I thought they were in my portfolio from art class in middle school, and I looked in there one day and they weren't, and I was flummoxed. I hate losing art.
