My favorites are the same as yours; especially cloud castle and snow castle.<br /><br />I would like to see them all together in a quilt, making a fanciful city together. If that doesn't work for you, you could make wall hangings, placemats, or pillowcases out of them?<br /><br />If they just sit that is fine, of course, but to me they are so delightful, I'd love to see them have a useful life past their initial time spent teaching you.<br /><br />You are so talented, Lene. I particularly admire how strong your artistic "voice" is and how you can express yourself in so many media.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440658754416289147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-49217197062875889372013-03-14T06:57:38.249+02:002013-03-14T06:57:38.249+02:00Colourful Harbour is my favourite - it's like ...Colourful Harbour is my favourite - it's like a luscious bath of silken colour for my tired eyes. Your work is just lovely and I admire it so much.
