I went to the mall yesterday with Hana. That's a big deal, because I don't like shopping and go only when she really needs something. As we were walking out, a guy selling hair extensions called her and her face lit up. I said that I will never buy the extensions, but he wanted to demo anyway... and I decided to let her have her fun. To make the story shorter - the extensions are made from human hair and look unbelievably real. She loved them. I refused to buy them. I don't want my 13-y old to be a complete fake... so we had a long talk about it and I think she understood. Anyway, I was inspired to paint a long haired girl, and I wanted to paint the whole figure.... but I started with one huge eye and then there was only room for the face. sigh. Good thing I didn't go for real likeness (I wish I could do that), because I would have failed miserably. I used the page to journal about our day and talk.

I've had it with the slow computer, so I'll continue tomorrow. Time to snack on some watermelon and cool down. xo
