From Old to Young and Better to Worse

I was going to submit an art quilt to Quilting Arts' Text Me challenge.  I wasn't satisfied with it so I didn't submit it.  First, I had trouble with this gal.  

I wanted her to look 
somewhat like a young princess. 
Instead she looked much older and very hard.  

I was actually afraid of her.  

I got the distinct impression 

that she'd like to kick my butt!

In an effort to avoid a black eye, I quickly 

chopped the sides of her eyes off, 

lightened and lengthened her hair, 

and thinned her face out.

I like her much better now.

BUT

I made the text way too big.

It overwhelms the piece. 

Oh well!  

Onward and upward.

Live and learn and all that jazz.

Tootles,
