Description I keep starting out pictures in pastel colors, but they end up saturated by the end somehow. I've been meaning to use more patterns for the past year or so, so I'm trying them out now ^^

Once again, I'm in awe of the details you put into your pieces. There isn't a single place devoid of detail; even the dark blue sky has stars and textures to bring it alive.
The designs you've used on the swirled tapestry--or, lace? The strip she's walking on, anyhow--is gorgeous and intricate. Its unity and form is a nice contrast to the clouds that seem more open and less controlled, and also less varied. My one complaint, and it is minor, is that the kite draws away from the focus too much; it either should be the focus, and therefore should be farther from the base, but in this case I would suggest against it as there is so much going on below. Just a little bit shorter of a string and it would have been perfect!
But this is an adorable, delicate piece and I love it to pieces. Well done!

Your use of patterns and color is outstanding! The setting is so very dreamy. Someone commented on the "moon" in the picture. I imagined it's a path she is traveling, through all sorts of mystery and dreamscapes...

I like the saturated colours XD.

Anywho - I love the style you drew this in and all the patterns you used - I'm amazed! Did you do each one by hand? I imagine it would've taken forever D8 it's really astounding! And I love the little ornaments that hang around - it creates such a nice mystical feel. That being said, everything in the picture seem so add to that.
I like the little sandcastle in the back with the UFO and the sort of watery-blueness at the bottom of the picture (I don't think that made sense) and how it sort of stretches to the sky. With such fancy clouds too! It's like they were stitched or something. I'm not sure what those floaty white things are, but if they're ghosts - they're adorable!
It's just a very whimsical sort of picture - and I love that!

AHHHH I still can't get over how beautiful this is! *A* I love the kite flying off the top of the moon. And the houses, lanterns hanging off the bottom of the moon. This makes me think that the moon is suspended by the kite and the dangling things are like those.. um.... I forget the name... But those things that dangle over a baby's crib...? *D* Anyways, I love how the girl looks like she knows where she's going, but turns back to lead us into the picture. ♥♥♥ And while the picture seems to suggest that we're in the sky, I love how the sky just bleeds into the water below and how you have the really gorgeous sandcastle on the left. ;o; <3And while the water might be saturated, it is still very pastel in many aspects, especially closer to the top! So it has this really nice gradual transition that brings our eyes from the top down! <3333
