Unicorns Are Real

Shimmering and shining...
And unexpectedly, a unicorn following a path to the stars. I could have made a more 'perfect' unicorn if I planned it - perhaps a white, slim elegant one with a mysterious look - but I just grabbed the closest jean scrap and outlined it quickly and discovered how tricky the applique was on those tiny pointed ears. So - not elegant, but making do - learning as I go along, using what I have and accepting what comes - my version.

That fits what a unicorn symbolizes to me - not what's perfect but what's real.

Your unicorn sure knows how to dress himself up for an encounter with the stars.
