IF: Poise

I just finished my ad for Picture Book, and still had the idea of dress up on the brain, but this time in a calmer setting. For the newest IF theme, "Poise," I thought of the word in relation to my mom's mantra growing up. It was so important for my mom, to instill in my sister and I, that we be poised and graceful. Often times my mother made clothes for us (usually matching I might add), and when I was getting measured I would practice my poise. Can't say I was always successful at it.

beautifully drawn - i love the shapes of their heads and hairdos - and i love how we are somehow looking down at this from somewhere...

This is such a charming illustration. I adore the patterns on their shirts. You can just feel the bond between the characters. Nice!
