The ladies behind the mirror. When we visited grandma, the first stop was the dress shop where she worked. It was called "Wice's." She would walk us through toward the mirrors in the back. And then they opened, revealing all of the seamstresses. #sketchbook #illustration #artjournal #womensupportingwomen #dailypainting
