For my Sisters birthday, I wanted to design something in particular. I could see what I wanted in my head but it was a big project and frankly, _very_ intimidating. We both loved Rise of the Guardians and I thought it'd be cute to have all the little elves from the movie trying to hide in a big  trench coat, wishing my Sister a Happy Birthday!

Now, drawing 10+ little elves seemed REALLY intimidating, and for a long time, I put it off. But I had plenty of time, so piece by piece, little by little, I drew in the elves. [Rome wasn't built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour,](https://jamesclear.com/lay-a-brick) as the full quotation goes.

The end result was fantastic, and I was very proud of it. Around 16 total Elves (though not all are in full sight), 7 eggs with legs, and countless stars! I laminated the printed piece and gave it to my sister to her delight. 

It was a big, and complicated project, but with time and effort, I managed to piece it together for a stunning finished piece.
