Minstrel Moon ACEO ATC

A fox might steal a grey goose, but only a well-trained dog can sneak into the human world and steal a good acoustic guitar. But of course, a dog has no thumbs, so it might have to find a friend to play it.


Using some Strathmore Bristol ACEO card blank from Ellen Million. Yay Ellen Million! Fun to work in miniature. Watercolors. Look ma, a background! Whoa, I did one. I'm so proud... Ok, yeah, I have a lot to learn bout lighting... But I had so much fun with the tree bark again... :) Original is 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Digital image has a slight white border. Again with I don't understand the scanner. This time it seems to have left out some of the black tints: this digital sky is more purple than the original navy. I suppose I could digitially correct this and Opera Glasses, but I don't have time yet.
