Today was awesome!! Love how you worked with the India ink and blended in the blobs with the white airbrush paint. And the BLING on the second page made my day. I have never used the studdy things but now I may have to. Thanks.

AWESOM; GREAT I think i dont know any english word for your work you re sharing with us THANK YOU SO MUCH
Maybe you know the movie Mary Poppins, there they say, when you dont know what to say (in german translation):
"Superkalifragilistischexpialigetisch"
Maybe thats the most wonderful word i know and so ist the best for you.
Like the flowers, the style and omg the colours, didnt i mention the colours?
