She's well-educated and reasonably wealthy. I see her with long brown hair in a neat french braid, and thoughtful brown eyes.

Maybe the 1920's or 30's? I am imagining Della as about 14 or 15, with long, medium brown hair which she wears in a twist at the back of her neck. She's a sturdy girl of medium height, with brilliant green eyes and a faraway gaze. Della is a dreamer.Dianne K.

I really love reading your pieces, I find them very magical just with your descriptions and I love, love, love Della!!<br /><br />Okay so you are probably wanting me to guess now!!<br /><br />My guess: She has long blond hair with drawn out curls, at night they fall to the low of her back but during the day they are pulled up into a do of some sort. She has bright blue eyes and perfect skin, with just a hint of a tan. <br /><br />Thank you so much for playing! This piece rocked and I'm so excited to see the big reveal tomorrow!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.com
