    I enjoyed the video. I also like your concept of falling ladies. Aren't we all falling at one time or another? I am usually falling behind. I love the paint on sketchbook!When I ignore my inner artist for too long, she usually gets quite unbearable to live with!

    the video was worth the mucking around... I am thinking I have to get me some of those embossing powders.... but I really loved having a sneak peak inside those sketchbooks and seeing your drawings.... I love your style so much... happy ppf
