A Mermaid at Versailles
There was a memorable festival at Versailles. It was a playful nod to the older water gods. The church was not thrilled and after the festivities very little was spoken or written about it. Just one more unforgettable party among so many. Not that it was regarded so frivolously by all. The next morning and many thereafter a stranger appeared in the grand fountain and in the waterways surrounding for many months. She was a stranger and utterly charming by all who were observant to look below the shimmer of the sun on the water.
She followed no fashion but her own. Her hair was the color of the depths of the sea on a fair day and only her left eye was very visible. Some were brave, especially the young and asked after the mystery. Her answer changed and shifted with the waves. Some swore she had given it for the ability to sing, to love, or to win at every card game. The youngest was certain she traded it to a shark for a priceless pearl.
Before long she was no longer seen or at least no one spoke of it or they forgot how to see the one eyed mermaid.

Baby Bunny Sleeping on Moon Watercolor Pattern
Snuggle Bunny picture book is almost done!
I needed a pattern for the interior pages and thanks to procreate and Adobe Capture I finished this part. Deep breath. I always think the writing will take the longest and then I am certain it will be the illustrations. After two books I am CERTAIN, it is layout that takes the longest. Someday I will find the perfect Gal Friday virtual assistant to help, leaving me free to spend all day in my comfy chair writing, drawing, and relocating run away bones (Ehlers Danlos)

Gypsy Illustration {Fairies of Versailles}
I think my fortune teller is all finished! You do not want my gift You really do not want my answers. You only pay me to tell you that you are right. You only want to know that you should keep on your path and all will be well. That is our pact. The fair exchange of coin for the calm you could not find in the mist, under the priests' hands, or imbibing the body of your god. We make a small promise to each other. If I like you, if you are kind, I will keep my side. If I do not, if you simper and snicker, I might just tell you the truth. If I really dislike you I might rearrange the cards and walk into the circle of oak trees on the darkest hour of the new Moon with a poppet made of my disdain and one of your hairs. Do not worry I have only done that once in a hundred or so years.

Unicorn and Girl Using Procreate Art APp
I had lost my ipencil for a few days and dug my heels in on replacing. I still think Apple is mean to not put a homing chip in to make these little things more findable. After every justification, I broke down and bought a new one (on the upside my room and house are completely clean and I can only assume an artistic raccoon came in stole it and is now the struggling fuzzy artist it knew it could be.) So here is my first sketch in a while. It is only part finished, The Unicorn and the Girl.
