When I saw that the Illustration Friday word this week was "sweater", I instantly thought of all the wonderful sweaters my Mom used to knit for my kids. They have now been out grown and I will never be able to part with them but I'm not sure what to do with them. I decided to put a couple of them into the scanner and make some sweater paper. Then I had a complete artist block. I finally came up with this little ACEO which I call sweater town. Hopefully, now that I've done this one I can think of more things to do with my lovely sweater paper.
Since I spent an embarrassingly long time making this, I won't get it inot my store today...but hopefully tomorrow.

I just love your colors. I feel like I could touch my computer screen and feel the soft bumps of the yarn.
