Shading the art takes an extra 2 hours per page. I didn't shade this page (except for the horse's legs, what was I thinking?!) Flip back a page to see a phenomenal example of shading. What would you rather see, gorgeous artwork or regular updates? Opinions to alissa_blaney AT yahoo DOT com.

Border would be better if the hearts in the corner pointed in rather than out. They direct the eye off the page. Liked them better red, like roses, but the color was too distracting.
