I like the idea of creepy things in pretty surroundings, like swamp monsters in seas of curling ribbon.
I’ve had this painting in mind since I lived in Iowa City, but I am finally getting around to finishing it. I’m almost finished, but wanted to share. I still need to sew in more ribbon and draw in the little girl that will be walking through the forest, following the ribbon to her birthday present ~ a huge swamp monster!
Here are some photos~
It’s hard to believe it started off as just a swamp..
Now there are blooming trees…
with falling leaves…
and curling ribbon leading to a spiky (but friendly) present…
What would you do if you were given a ribbon and told to follow it through these woods?
Would you enjoy your birthday present?
I know I would!
OMG I looooove this. It’s so pretty!
