And see that giant white blob beside her left eye? I wanted you to see that because I think sometimes it can get frustrating creating and messing up things, especially when they seem perfect. Here I just happened to have too much white ink in my pen and it completely spread. That’s when I stopped for the day. But usually those mess ups turn into happy accidents.
For some reason she needed those giant elk horns too. They’re budding with cherry blossoms. And I am very excited to see just who this girl blooms into.
BLOG UPDATE:
Here’s what this girl turned into! Check out the entire evolution here!

Congratulations on writing a piece for them!! Can't wait to see it!!
Thank you for sharing a demo of your amazing painting!! I have a question, what medium do you use when you add collage items over your paint etc? Modge podge or something else?
Thanks again for sharing!! Your work is simply amazing!! 🙂

thank you! i'm so happy i can share a bit of my process with you.
to adhere paper, i use Golden's Gel Medium (self leveling clear gel). i'm liking it better than the Modge podge i was using. for me, it stays nice and smooth. for a top coat, i still use Royalcoat's Decoupage Finish in Antique.

I love the way that you developed this beautiful work.. gave me an enormous will of trying also.
you also lit me the will of doing crochet.. something that I didn't do to many years.
Thank you sweet friend for your generosity in explaining everything step the step… you are magnificent.
