“With a dreamy far-off look, and her nose stuck in a book...”
When my sister asked what I wanted for my birthday, I, of course, answered books. Her responses were as follows:
Can you give me something else bc I really don’t wanna contribute to that bs
What’s something that is not a fucking book
I want a place to sleep when I’m home for the summer. Anymore books and I’ll be in the barn
So, books were out of the question. Then I saw that commissions were opening up soon for one of my favorite artists. I asked my sister if she’d get me one and she said YES.
Now, thanks to my sister and the stunning, lovely, wonderful work of @projectnelm, this Beauty and the Beast piece is mine. And I LOVE IT. Beauty and the Beast is basically my favorite movie, and when I was but a wee babe I’d watch it over and over, make others watch it with me, and put the ending on rewind and cry cry cry. So it--and this--means a lot to me.
Thank you so much, Christie! (I hope you’re all following her. I literally check her page every day to see if she’s posted anything new. Her art SLAYS ME.)
