"Doesn't she often use a smoother surface?" But even though it was TOUGH to paint like this, you did a great job. I have my classes paint shirts, and now I'll bookmark yours to add to the 'inspirational examples'. Gosh.

I was just thinking the other day of the little girl's dress on a hanger that you did once before. I loved that one too. Hope you're doing well my friend.
