Mabel liked the idea of the washable glass markers I found at
Flax. I gave her the step-stool to boost herself up. She used the tray marked
THIS IS NOT A STEP to spread out her selection of markers.
The tray marked
THIS IS NOT A STEP intrigued Mabel. She asked more than once if I was sure that you could NEVER use it for a step, not even for a minute?
The work on the kitchen windows could only be photographed later, when evening light made Mabel's work more visible.
We played a window-pane version of tic-tac-toe. And collaborated on cartoon-y faces. All the swirls, however, came exclusively from Mabel's hand.
