stay where you are sky

Things have been a little bit up in the air around here lately. I’ve been trying to make some tough decisions and I think, with the help of Alicia’s goldilocks theory, I’ve finally got things settled in my mind. (speaking of goldilocks – cute!) Trying to decide what’s the right size/fit for me right now is super tough. Hopefully the decisions I’ve made are truly ‘right fit’ decisions and not
‘ruin your life and regret it forever decisions’. I think I’m on the right track though because the immediate result of these tough calls is that I had a free unfettered weekend to work on stuff I’ve been wanting to work on for quite some time including this little gal.

I was able to dig back into all my inspiration books and revisit things I’ve been dying to work on for months. This little chicky was inspired by a bit of a japanese childrens book illustration I’ve had on my boards forever.
