There is definitely a shanty look to this and the richness of the colors are a beautiful foil to the poverty in the story.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-63466722670132527522010-11-01T11:22:40.854-07:002010-11-01T11:22:40.854-07:00Very interesting Helen, as is usual with your piec...Very interesting Helen, as is usual with your pieces.

There is something quite joyful about it, despite the patched together nature of it. I am glad you included the detail shots of the wonderful raggedy textures. It really brings it to life.
