Michael's cousin, currently living in Addis Ababa, came to visit this past week and it's been wonderful walking the seaside with her, showing her the various quaint shops, while discovering new coffee shops along the way. As you can see by the photo shared in this post, we've had some incredible sunsets these past few days.

Thank you, Serena. It was lovely to be with her as it's only about once a year we get to visit with her. Hope you have a lovely week as well!
DeleteSuch a good idea to use actual fabric for the design on the girl's clothing. The little scarf looks as soft as the real fabric.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara. You made me smile about your scarf comment. awww :D
DeleteYes, like great puppeteers, your images convey so much through simple poses and the suggestion of movement. They really do seem to come alive! Beautiful sketch and images of your seaside retreat. Hope it is all settling a bit more each day. :)
ReplyDeleteAwwwww....thanks, Nicolas! Quite chuffed! Things are starting to settle in. Still looking for that "spark" for my art to start flowing again. :)
