'cuz you know what a cottage in the woods needs (well, when your theme is the Musicians of Bremen, anyway)?
Musicians!
So, here is a lute-playing donkey, ready to be quilted.
And a fiddle-playing cat, in the same state.
A kettle-drum playing dog that's already been quilted,
And a rooster who does what else? Sing! Here he is on a four inch square ruler so you get the idea of the scale of this piece. It's tiny!
You know what else is tiny? All of those little fused and quilted stones, and those teeniest of tiniest leaves on those wee trees!
I wonder where all those musicians will go?
Never mind that - I'm askeered of the next part! So far, everything's been pretty normal, right? Right! Well, coming up is where I start to veer off track. It's a nail biter!
Oh, and about that winner - it's Elle! Elle, please contact me at kit.lang.ltd@gmail.com with your snail mail address!
Cheers,

ReplyDeleteintriguing!
ReplyDelete(Spelt properly this time!)
Wow! It's so small but so detailed! I can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteSo neat! I'm looking forward to seeing how they all play together!
ReplyDeleteKit, I did go and read some of the story that has inspired you to do this scene. I had never heard of it before and it was quite enjoyable. Can't wait to see the finished piece.
ReplyDeletea 2" rooster ... oh wow! Can' wait to see how it all fits together. Is the "Musicians of Bremen" story a well-known story in Canada? As Bremen is a German city, every kid hears it (several times ...) while in kindergarten ;-))
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed Kit. And you haven't even put the animals in place yet!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice blog. You may be interested on a post on the Picasso exhibition currently in Sydney that is coming to Toronto in April. http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/picasso-exhibition-art-gallery-of-new.html
ReplyDelete@Carol - I'm glad you did - I loved all of Grimm's Fairy Tales!
ReplyDelete@Carole - we've already bought our tickets for that show. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the way this is going. You seem to be enjoying the progress and the process.
ReplyDeleteAck. Such tiny pieces that I almost forgot to scroll all the way to the end. This is such a nice surprise. Thanks so very much Kit!
