I have started on an illustration some weeks ago. I still have to go over it with second layer of colors to make it more rich and alive. If I will get around to it.

Funny how you get use to something that I from the beginning thought was so stupid and old fashion. When I was playing around with my Cricut I also figured out how to transfer my wine ladies into svg file which is needed so the machine can cut out my illustrations. I did a test with iron on transfer vinyl. I made the
