I've finally finished this HUGE project! It only took a few months, LOL. It's approx. 4ft by 3ft and I used 4 watercolor pencils (all black). I'm so glad it's done. I'm very proud of the end result.

C.c I'm not really sure this is possible, but I tend to find out. That's obstacle #1. #2 My aunt's continual talking to the dogs as if they are human and scolding them likewise is making me grind my teeth at night. I've also had to distance myself from sharp objects in the fear of harming her. (Just kidding about that last part). #3 My grandfather is not faring well.
