Poor thing. Let's hope the next IF topic is Untangle , so she can untangle herself.

Btw. thanks for the comment! It was the first comment on my blog (not counting my friends who were forced to leave feedback by my constant nagging!)

This is an interesting one, a design that rewards the viewer when they stop a while. It's could to discover things in a work over time, rather than take it in all at once.

Poor Rose, my mind gets muddy too! Another great drawing and I love the touches of blue.
