This time it was a mixture of all three.

Janne came here for the Christmas holidays and on the evening that he was leaving, he asks if we could do a small load of wash so that he won't have to bring home any dirty clothes and believe me when you do the trip from here to Montreal, cross the ocean and 2 more airports before arriving in your country and then after Euryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01098709972721745899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856802.post-21909739175277864952011-02-26T21:10:00.005-06:002011-02-26T21:21:41.407-06:00Feeling alright!

You might even call her a pixie, I guess, right?Well, I did more of her skin and drew her hands so they were the proper shape. I set her on a branch with blossoms, like cherry blossoms, something that feels like spring time. I also made her lips a pinker shade, I think she needed to look fresher for spring, but I still like the big pouty lips.
