drawing challenge: fairy tale


the theme of the recent Film and Photo Festival was the same
as the theme of this week's drawing challenge: fairy tale

my fairy tale is a combination of Alice and Thumbelina
questioning myself:
what if I would be so small
that I could go through a hole
in a tree
to an other world....




 

....I would see the world differently
see an other world
and dance with the fireflies

first I made a self-portrait in black/white
cut precisely and fasten a toothpick on the back
went to the forest and made a picture of this little me
poked holes in the print and placed it on a light box
and with a different focus
there it was
my fairy world

  2. Patrice thank you for showing us a beautiful experience and telling us how we can create our own magic. Oh I will be trying this out in future. Well Thumbelina was my favorite fairy tale as a child and your take on it as an older child (inner child I guess) is fun. I have always loved the image of where the bird is ill and looks deceased and then the girl finds it. I enjoyed this romp! *smiles* Norma

  14. I love the idea of feeling so small. Sitting in my garden yesterday I looked up to a really huge old oak and wondered about the life in it. What if I could sit in this oak and look around....what would I see?
    Thank you for this inspiring post

  16. lieve Patrice, eindelijk tijd om een kijkje te nemen in al die sprookjeswerelden en ik word verrast :)
    I love your idea and the execution of it, what a great idea to use B/W photoos, they blend wonderfully with the background and add just that extra, i wished i could enter that last image and dance with you, x
