So I got this journal (Ranger/Dyan) when I had spent enough (read: too much) money at my favorite supply store here in the Netherlands. I immediately had a purpose for it. Children's illustrations! I started a writing course that enabled me to develop a character: Seven year old Soes (pronounce like (Dr.) Seuss). She hates unicorns. And yet she meets one by chance. Hilarious ^_^
Mixed media in journal.

"When Soes turned seven, her uncle Sato came over from Suriname. He had brought a present. A stuffed animal. A unicorn! Soes hated it. 'It's magical,' Sato winked." |
|
"'Well!' said Dad, 'then put that unicorn on your head!'" |
|
"Soes looked disappointed. This was no unicorn. This was a fat, pink pony with a cone on its head. See. Unicorns are stupid." |
