    I'm always blown away by your attention to detail and this is no exception. Everything is stunning. I want one to play with! Making the bed, rearranging the mattresses, hiding secrets in the drawer, putting the princess in different insomniac poses! Oh my word, the joy would be endless! Thank you so much for sharing your treasures. You are a master. 😊❤

    Hello Sarah!! What a stunningly beautiful & unique work of art!! That’s worthy of a beautiful custom made glass display box - for you home or art studio!! But if you ever have a granddaughter - her bedroom would be a perfect place for her imagination to blossom!! Have you ever considered displaying it in a Children’s Museum or a Historically Beautiful Library?? How proud you must be of this project!! I’m sure everyone in your apprentice class admired this piece as you probably equally admired their pieces!! What a challenging & technical course😱😬😊🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💕!!
