Fractured Fairytale Challenge

Phewee! what a couple of months - life can keep you out of mischief when it wants to!

So here I am hanging head in shame for lack of blogging but I hope this project makes up for it and earns me some brownie points for my absence!

One of the ladies on the Michael DeMeng workshop in Portugal suggested we do a fractured fairytale altered book.  YEEEESSSS let's do it! I set off to make mine then stopped dead in my tracks errrrr.... what IS a fractured fairytale?!!   It is the twisting of a fairytale - what if... Prince Charming had a hideous voice and Cinderella didn't want him? what if Rapunzel got alopetia? Sleeping ugly?! You get the idea.

I set out to do something with Tim Burton influenced characters and lots of wild physcadelic colours and somehow it evolved itself to this!!  not sure about the blonde hair, I might change it to black, it isn't glued on yet.  The beargirl is again inspired by Clarissa Callesen's Wild Things and yes, there are a couple more I am working on, watch this space....
