If I were in the circus...

This was a prompt from my awesome sketchbook yahoo group.

If you were in the circus, what would you be? I thought of it for a while and I wanted to be the gypsy fortune teller. With tents, pillows, long scarfs, crystal balls etc..

I went through my images and took out the ones that spoke this to me. After I had them all out, I found I had too many for one page, so I did a 2 page spread.


I love how everything came together and invokes the mood and what I was trying to make.



Oh, how did Johnny get in here? I suppose I would let him share my circus tent. Especially if he's bringin that piano. I could use some music in there. :)

Fantastic pages. You did get a wonderful mood of expectancy, promises. I love the idea of having live piano in the background. ;-))

Love your fortune teller Cheryl. So bright and mysterious. I had to seriously laugh when I saw Johnny. How DID he sneak in there? I want him to catch me on the trapeze too!
