A Jewelry Girl's First Comic Strip

When I was younger I used to draw all the time. I never got the hang of using geometric layouts or of drawing very well from life at all, but I loved drawing from other drawings and photographs on sight, and did them well. Later on I got into drawing neat abstracts with pen and Sharpies, but eventually my interests branched into other creative forms until I hardly drew anything anymore that was worth saving. In my case, "If you don't use it, you lose it," seems to apply very much.
Here is my very first comic strip, born from the need to creatively vent some creative frustration. Enjoy.
Lessons:
1. Be carefree, play around with it, and the inspiration will come.
2. Don't be afraid of making mistakes-Good art comes from the enjoyment of it.
