Description

there's this wonderful tradition here for young girls to gather in the evenings of twelve days of christmas to do some fortune telling! Most popular ones are for the future husband of course, and the one drawn here is really famous but extremely scary so I never actually did it myself :"D So here's what you do: you need two big and equal mirrors to set them opposite each other. Between them you place two candles so that there is a long corridor. A person who does it must be alone or with somebody who is also interested in it, but they must keep silence. You sit in front of one mirror to see the reflection in another one. The moment you see your future groom you must cover the mirror with a cloth otherwise who knows what might happen...

I really like the sharpness of the pen strokes. the desk-top and the details on the dress stand out especially to me. OSM.

Oh right, also (obligatory)
