It’s finished!! I made a lot of improvements compared to my first go
Took just over 24 hours. Making a matching shoulder strap to go with it. Then it’s off to its new owner 😁

A creepy artwork of a crow with teeth smiling at the viewer opening it's claw hands and pointing at the viewer with the text: You will be overpaid and underworked.

The witch took her hands off the patient's body.

"First of all," she said with absolute conviction, "there's nothing wrong with you."

"The doctor-"

"Said you must be either man or woman?"

"That it's black or white, no grey."

"Nonsense. Every colour in the rainbow is between black and white."
