As promised, just dropping this off and fleeing, I'm afraid. If you have written me notes, a thousand pardons for not yet reading them. Please read my last journal entry if you haven't already. Unfortunately, I can't enter into any correspondence at the moment.

Poor Alionushka and Ivanushka [link] got such comparatively little attention, amusingly enough. :D In fact, it's one of my own personal favourite illustrations from this book.

Must fly. :bye:

Really pretty! A masterful use of black and white...and the tale sounds interesting too.
:iconphyrbyrd:
Oh, how lovely. I love your silhouettes - the trees in particular are gorgeous on this.
Also - I liked Alionushka and Ivanushka. I faced it, and commented, if I recall correctly.

Miracles happen every second of our lives. You just have to be aware enough to see them.

true love between a husband and wife comes from dedication and loyalty of heart, created from their innermost beings.

I adore silhouettes. =D (One day I'll work out how to do them myself, but so far they've eluded me. =P)
Those trees are gorgeous, as is the whole illustration. Beautiful.
