Last month, Twig Creative asked me to participate in a fun art game where a set of bloggers/artists pass around a canvas throughout their respective cities to craft a mixed media canvas of awesome. This weekend, I received the canvas from Naomi and it was my turn to play!

I added a stack of cute people, an airplane and a hedgehog. Because hedgehogs, I cannot refuse. I’m sending it to Gussy next, and I can’t wait to see what she does with it! Follow our game here!

The home of stylist and fashion director Cynthia Lawrence-John is definitely one to see, love and promptly stalk.
