A successful conclusion!
To those of you who have joined me recently - this saga began several months ago (posts are here, here, here, here, here, here and here - I TOLD you it was a saga! *w*) and I simply had to make this piece if only to finally have closure. lol
The piece is based on the very last "scene" from the Grimm fairy tale, "The Musicians of Bremen", a fairy tale I enjoyed very much as a child - likely for its themes of justice and redemption. :)
The piece as a whole is 8 x 10 inches so each of these animals is wee - the Donkey being the biggest at a grandiose 1 inch tall. Each individual piece of each animal is made of a piece of fused fabric...
As are their instruments, the stones in the path,
and the leaves on the trees.

I'm really pleased to have this done and some day I'm going to re-visit it - by illustrating the rest of the story!
But in the meantime, I've got other irons in the fire - stay tuned for the beginnings of new work on Monday.
Have a great weekend!

sheeesh, this is beautiful! I need to study up on your posts to figure out how you work, Kit. i'm attempting to make a landscape beach scene but don't know what the heck I'm doing! If I could only be a fly on the wall of your studio as you work and create...

ReplyDeleteI am amzed at how much personality you got in that donkeys face. Each animal is so animated and so small. Did you ever think of working bigger? I also love this story and I think you did a fabulous job - really!

ReplyDeleteI love the series of story quilts you're doing now. I've always loved your larger works,, but I'm a real fan of story quilts.
ReplyDeleteThis is just charming. There is something so compelling about a cottage in the woods... I loved all those fairy tales that had them.
