Demanding Hippo

Photo took in the sunlight

The Hippo is much better in reality, but even with the scanner I can't get real colors in it:o/ Do you have a tip for photographing or scanning your art in its most "natural" colors???

!My baby is really demanding one!

So it takes me so long in posting:o( I'm trying to figure out my daily/weekly planning but the baby takes all my forces and also mu hubby's training program doesn't permit me to schedule my "free" time without exceptions until March :o(

This is almost how does it look like in real life... but even the purple of my kitchen is not accurate...it is too red here:o/ And you can see me there too:oD
