Wow, this is just such a masterpiece times 1000. VERY impressive Denise. So many delightful details to get lost in. I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jenn! :) I had alot of fun making it! The ballerina and clock actually still work too, even though it's from the 1960s. That made me really happy that it's functional and artistic/decorative :)
