and Jackie the Backie
and Jim with two noses
and Jo with the bow'

great shadow play and story telling here

[Ingrid Budge]

I love this - it's giving me mixed feelings - there's an innocence from the lovely image but the song has always had a slightly dark undertone, this makes a wonderful pairing

[Bankmann]

Beautiful - and just a littlr bit spooky...

[Pyrrhula]

Mooie schaduwen

[Kathy]

Hi Sava - I'm you get pushed partner for this coming week. I noticed that your project had a lot of images containing people so I was wondering if you would like to have a go at an image showing a figure from the back (a technique known as Ruckenfigur.) There are examples online and they look quite interesting: https://www.artsy.net/gene/figure-from-the-back-ruckenfigur
Cheers Rob

[Caroline]

Beautifully done Saxa, I love it - very whimsical, happy. :)

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@robz thanks Rob, wonderful how everyone comes up with new ideas to try. Never heard of the technique, but I've got images popping up in my head already :-)

[Susan]
