ooh Nautigal - i haven't seen that book, but i'll put it on my list! negative space has always interested DD5... she would always fill in the entire floor or sky - i bet she would LOVE that book.

and Lovemydd - ha - i've wondered if architecture or engineering might be where she winds up in the end? she's in her room drawing a castle scene using the vanishing point, which i officially showed her this morning. it's really shaping up - and i think the straight lines are very satisfying for her. "mastery" is her big watchword these days, and the professional output of a straight edge really appeals, i think! smile

i'll post the castle as the inaugural Art Thread post when she's finished - she's been at it a while now, and she's about 1/4 done the sketch. whee - can't wait to see others, so Lovemydd, you'll be adding some from your bean, right?

Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.
