Bad things almost always happen to rambunctious boys in fairytales. This is a reference to one of my favourites.
This is much looser than last week’s. Artland in Indooroopilly was having a 30%-off sale (and airconditioning, which is why I was in there) and I picked up (among many other things) some “scratch-etch” board: a shiny white card which you etch with a sharp tool and then rub oil crayon into. This is my first test-drive of it, and I’m looking forward to trying more effects and techniques, and also going for more contrast and precision.

Cute!
Hm… swans again? Or another fairy tale?

Another one, also with a sister and mother instrumental in the action, but no nettles.
