I was feeling inspired today….I didn’t add color to this sketch because I liked this so much that I wanted to save it for for future projects. April 13,  I had a dream last night about being Cinderella.  I guess all this Cinderella stuff is getting in my head.  Anyway, I dreamed of a horseContinue reading “IFJM Day 13”

One forgets that in the modern times, teenagers don’t always want to do what is traditional,  especially when it has to do with wearing something OLD.   The glass “slippers” from Sarah’s family were a style that was in high fashion in the late 17th century in France, not something that a modern day teenContinue reading “IFJM Day 6”
