The Illustration Friday word of the week is swell.
“Happy is the woman who does not seek the Things that make her head swell, for they would surely turn her into something green, scaly, and altogether not nice.” (Anonymous)
“The Beast’s Ring” (watercolor, pen & ink)

Oh, this image is FUN. For a moment I imagined she was wearing a mask, and then saw that her eye was green-lidded as well. I try not to look at anything on I.F. until I have my piece done for the quote – keep my thoughts sliding in bizarre directions that way but I had to break my own rule to reply to your comment for an older post of mine. . Your comment re: Christmas for Carol and full colour images much appreciated – and food for thought. Many thanks. Good luck with the Girl with Silver Hands – found the references and links mentioned very interesting.
I love this image and quote. Wonderful!
I have been so spotty on the blogs. Busy summer, etc.
I entered the cover art contest. Thanks for the link! Mine will be posted on Thursday. I already have that book though!
I hope your summer is lovely thus far. I’m looking forward to Autumn now.
Best~
