Karen, I've had it up to here (touching my forehead) with little 8x10s. I had this sudden urge to make something bigger. Fast. A sketch on paper is a great way to get that out of your system, don't you think?

Will you mount these as a series??? 'twould would be pretty cool, Silvina!!

silvina said...

Natalie, we'll have to play a few rounds next time you come over.

silvina said...

Marian, I might do that but I don't know, they're pretty messy. This might just be a trial run. We'll see.

Karen Appleton said...

No no, yes yes, you must mount, they are really gorgeous! Must mount!

They look perfect and would be wonderful hung together or reproduced in a series.

silvina said...

Karen, not too messy?

Diana, I like that idea.
