    Fabulous translation! And I love the dandelion seeds! They remind me of the beautiful luminescent, sparkling, floating woodsprites in Avatar.

    Congratulations, Samantha, on a gorgeous piece of work!

    Drawing ballet dancers is hard; I ‘tried’ doing it myself?! So, anybody who can engage in this activity and pull it off extremely well; I have to fully respect and admire. I looking at nothing only the very interesting and ‘dynamic’ design; but, also, the wonderful depiction of ‘arms’/and, ‘arm muscles’…the details of which, I think, are truly just FANTASTIC! ;-)

  • Thank you so much for your comments Paul

    …sorry, about the misspellings…but, I tend to hit Send before re-reading; then, re-read, afterwards…really BIG MISTAKE! I must remember to re-read, properly ‘before’ posting; well, better luck next time, hopefully. Feel free to DELETE this comment if you wish. Thanks! ;-)
