Esther Rayde: It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
http://estherrayde.blogspot.com/2011/04/it-seemed-like-good-idea-at-time.html
Notes from My Desk and Drawing Board. Monday, April 11, 2011. It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time. Click on the image to view an enlargement.

I had so much fun sketching Gert that Roz graciously allowed me to take Gert home for a few weeks—until we get together for more sketching.
