Now that I have figured out how to submit this….

This class was wonderful! The identification of the process and the slow explanation of how to do it really helped. The worksheets are goldmine that I will continue to use. 

I was very certain of the way I wanted to go (as my photos show) but when it came right down to it I completely changed my mind. I was not happy at all at how real my ideas were taking form. I wanted to try something new That’s all part of the creative process, yes? 

Boy, did I try something new and did I ever struggle with it. It was difficult for me. I was unhappy with my motifs, colour palette everything! But at the very, very end I took a breath and smiled at my illustration. It certainly wasn’t perfect but it means a lot to me. 

thanks @theartmother for the experience!
