Feb 18 African woman



This lady is opposite the Bwa lady and the last entry in the book of Aquarius. The book finished up at 1 1/2" thick. Not very much in it about Aquarius although according to my new reference green is this signs color and it does have lots of green in it. Too bad i didnt know that earlier; i would have made a green book instead of lavender. Come to think of it though - another reference i had said lavender or violet. No matter - it has plenty of both colors as well as other colors too.
Aquarius was my sisters sign, she was born on Feb 2, ground hogs day. Apparently the ground hog saw his shadow this year which indicates an early spring. We are experiencing a cold Artic front presently with high winds so once thats over spring will be sprung.
Renee passed away ten years ago. We were not loving sisters when we were children but became good friends as adults and i miss her still.
The African lady was colored with Crayola Window paints which went out of control in a few areas because i didnt make a border with the thicker black paint to contain it.I also added gel pen markings. The wire wrapped neck would have been gold if my wire had of been a heavier gauge and then her earrings would have been gold to co ordinate as well because that is my memory of pictures of African women with long wrapped necks. The black and yellow background paper was a gift and a well placed slit made way for her neck to slip right into her dress.
Tomorrow a new book for the start of my sign; Pisces.
