71 - CSI Challenge Sprung

Blue is my favourite colour, so it was not difficult to decide what the primary colour would be on this page. I stuggle a bit with red at times, so I added just a tiny bit of it.  

I kept Em's sketch close to the original and it was wonderful to work with.

For the pen work, I drew the clouds on vellum and tucked them under the patterned paper.  Good to use some of the very old stash.

TESTIMONY

I chose to write about a conversation I had with DGS when he  was learning to manipulate grown ups into doing what he wanted.

THE JOURNALLING READS

When your hair gets long like this, I remember a conversation we had when you were five.  Mummy had asked me to cut your hair, but when I got the scissors ready to do it, you said “No Granny, Mummy has a hairdresser coming to my house on Sat 17th. This option had been discussed so I naively swallowed  your explanation hook, line and sinker.

Saturday was indeed the 17th and I had no reason to doubt you. When we got home Mummy said. “Did you not have time for the haircut”?  I told her what you’d said and she was astonished because she’d not arranged any such thing. “Why did you say that to Granny?” “Cos I didn’t feel like having my hair cut today Mummy, I wanted to play all day”!!
