I’m not very happy with the flowers, but it’s late and I’m tired. This is for a sketch contest.

I’ve finally made my decision about my GASC courses. I’ve registered for these:

But first sleep.

I’ve been working on this for days and I finally finished it. I wanted to try to make something that used products purchased in Finland. Except for the bags and some ribbon that was sent to me, I did just that.
