    This is so beautifully "tattered," Marie! Gorgeous textures and monochromatic colors.

    It's a lovely piece, Marie. I guess it's a naughty girl journal. Fortunately, her "crimes" were long ago forgotten and the witnesses are no longer with us...

    She's ascending the stairs to her cold and tattered attic rooms worrying what she will feed the children for supper. A lovely piece of pictorial narrative, Marie. Magnificent.

    The lady looks either naughty or guilty :)
    Either would suit for my journal :)

    I love this! I love the whole look of it! A lady with a tattered past.

    BTW, the URL you provided on the TAW message page was a bit tattered too. I think there was a typo in it. :-)
