Kathy, how do you do this awesome stuff??? It's just breathe taking your imagination. It's so overwhelming!!!! I'm..... I'm actually speechless. You see I love and adore Alice in Wonderland and I am always on the hunt for anything of Lewis Carroll that has been illustrated so this piece really stuck a cord with me! Thanks so much for your kind words left on the blog. It encourages me in ways you will never ever know. May God bless you for you very kind words my friend.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Love that it's in pencil. Not a easy medium to show depth, but you did a great job. Although I think it would be spectacular in color.
