In My House ...

... there is a little girl! Today I found a wonderful new online art challenge, Dans ma maison il y a ... This week's theme is une petite fille. For my house, I used various text papers, handmade paper, gel medium, acrylic paints, Shiva Paintstiks, Primary Elements and rub-ons. The image of the little girl is from my own collection.
