Hi Cee,
Miss MacKenzie is a cutie. 🙂 But the wooden carving catches my attention, specifically the lines coming off of him. My first thought was ‘reinforcements,’ but with a closer look, I’m thinking spider webs because he sits outside (edge of roof line in top of photo?). The detail of those lines are what intrigues me this week….
Not sure what I bring to the party on this one. I have a few ideas and will work on it today, to post this evening…. Have a High-Five Friday!
