ink silhouette with watercolor, illustrating part of a dream I had. A little orphaned girl had drowned in a pool of that nasty green artificial fruit drink kids drink. Throughout the dream I kept finding needles in my mouth, wedged between my back lower teeth and cheek. They were thick and hollow and at some points made from metal, at others they were pink glass. I used the needles to bring the girl back to life as a cat that was wearing a little ruffle-y blue gingham dress. The cat was very smart, she could even count, and I was very pleased with myself for bringing her back to life as a cat.
