A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Mer-girl

December 18, 2012

This week, I am hunkering down to get the last of my Christmas gifts done and want to make headway on some art projects. I’m getting close.

Above is one of my all-time favorite illustrations I did in watercolor many moons ago. I love that the mer-girl is riding a seahorse, exploring through the depths of the sea. One day I want to wander through the world on a trusty steed too, seeking out adventures.

Alright, back to hunkering down…
