Savour

Ironically, the prompt this week for Illustration Friday is 'savour'


... which I think is perfect for finalising this image on.
I've savoured every moment of its creation almost as much as this klimt-y
mum is savouring her child.

Hope you have a lovely weekend

Will definitely try my best at documenting the progress,
So far we have a headless mum with her headless babe -
what a pair they make :)

Burning

The prompt this week for Illustration Friday  is 'Burning'.


“To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.”
 ~ Mother Teresa

'Burning' had me stumped at first, so hopefully this quote and its wonderful metaphor works !?



See if you can find my sneaky map of Australia and the island of Tasmania.

P.S Have a wonderful week and thank you for your thoughts and comments

Afterwards

'Afterwards' is the prompt this week at IllustrationFriday



"Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards. "

- Lewis Carroll

hmmm think before you speak .... now, there is a novel idea !!
something I could definitely work on,  This lassy seems to be the kind of gal who would do as Lewis Carroll advised and wouldn't have as many regrets afterwards.
Or maybe she's free to air her thoughts without consideration  due to her choice in company, I'm sure her secrets are safe.
