Change- Second piece for I-Fri challenge. "A little known fact that Jack ( of Jack in the beanstalk fame) actually grew up to be a talented horticulturist! He is best known now for his money tree. 'You have to know the proper change to feed it.' He says."
Change- Illustration Friday's weekly challenge. The first thing I thought of was a flounder and what a fascinating change they go through in life. Did you realize that they are born with an eye on either side of their heads? Just like other fish? AND that the right eye actually MIGRATES slowly to the left side of the fish over time?
Cute ideas and atractive illos! Mary (Iagik)
