I love how fairytales can morph like that.<br /><br />Ina: no, I am just working on a series of narrative images that will be appropriate to show to publishers (maybe in Bologna next year or here in NYC). Some will be color, some black and white. Time to get out the Prismacolors again, or maybe some watercolors (but I haven't painted in years).<br /><br />I'm so glad you liked it!Jessica M.

In black and white or will you venture into colour?<br /><br />Another tale I looooove and that follows the same lines is "The white bride and the black one" I had it on vinyl as a kid. The true bride being ticked into giving her dress to her step sister and then pushed into the river and turned into a white duck. The enchantement is broken when they cut off the ducks head.<br />Trickery and violence everywhere! :o) And still, I much preferred gory tales to toned down versions.Inahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422572049221479827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482067198013308950.post-85147002594593619282012-04-06T22:41:27.609-04:002012-04-06T22:41:27.609-04:00Thanks, briar!

Your description of the song also reminds me of other tales like the Three (or Seven) Ravens, and the Children of Lir.<br /><br />Meg, I'm so glad you like it! You know I made it for you.Jessica M.

The story reminds me (and is probably related to, in some way) a song sung by Loreena McKennitt (but taken from an old story) called The Bonny Swans, about a jealous sister who throws her sister in the river (where she turns into a swan) and the jealous sister takes her place at the wedding, and at the wedding feast the court musician is playing a harp (made from the bones of the swan?), and it begins to speak and tell the whole story. I love stories like this! She also has some other story telling songs, one of my favorites is "She Moved Through the Fair", very ghostly...Briarhttp://www.marbleandmilkweed.comnoreply@blogger.com
