Congratulations, Carol! Seeing these wonderful pieces has been one of my favorite parts of the challenge! Looking forward to seeing your collage (!) and continuing to follow your next adventures, as always...
Yes, this has the feel of a crowded gift shop! Sounds really fun to dip into the solvent. I really like the gesture of the woman glancing upward. Her yellow dress against the blues and reds really is a nice interplay, too.
