When I saw this was done with pencil, and this is not a good thing to reveal, but I almost threw my pencils across the room!But, I remembered I am not a two year old, so, I decided to try harder. What more can be said about this work other than it is phenomenal? It is, and thank you for showing me what to aspire to, Ruth. It sitll makes me speechless to view.
