You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket to let the soul out.

The colors in this are stunning – I love how the gold seems to glow. Very well done.
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! The awesome painting with that great alliteration is just perfect!
Wow, this is extremely beautiful! Your colors are so rich and harmonious. I love the legend behind your idea too. Fantastic work.
Nice poem too.
What a great story and illustration. Is there a philosophy of illustration? I mean should the picture tell the WHOLE story? or just enhance it? Clarify it… don’t know why YOU got my questions!! Love the art, but don’t SEE how it fits… (I definitely understand, tho’!)
Oh, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I’m sorry, but there just aren’t any flaws with your work. And they’re still masterpieces!
I found that last quote about woven blankets fascinating. 😀
Amazing!!
