I don’t really read fantasy series like this and thought the story was cutesy, but the artwork was G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! Even at the cost of repeating myself, I cannot emphasize that enough. Can the two young girls figure out how to stop Mamo’s spirit from wreaking havoc in their little sleepy town? In an interesting twist, it’s Orla’s grandmother – Mamo – who is causing disturbances in the town she once protected. The story follows Jo Manalo whose mother is being troubled by an evil spirit, so she seeks out the only witch in Haresdan, who turns out to be a young free-spirited Orla. The artwork in ‘Mamo’ a five part comic-book series by Sas Milledge are so stunning that I couldn’t give all my attention to the plot and was happily lost in its bright and dreamy illustrations! ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments Vogue knitting project journal![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Currently the events are held virtually due to Covid-19 restrictions Classes, demonstrations and vendor marketplace are held as part of the convention, along with a fashion show.
