Illustration of Alice in Wonderland – 20 years later.
Here’s my Queen of Hearts:

I am a very creative person and it’s my way of dealing with the world, inside and out. I am only happy when I am making things or painting or writing. There are just not enough hours in the day…. I am into poetry and photo manipulation at the moment and also dabbling in photography. :-)

I love it Sybylle.
