On its own in the forest by overalvandaan

On its own in the forest

My sister always tells self made stories to her young daughters. Some of them she has written down. I've always wanted to illustrate one of those stories, so I promised my sister I'd do one this year. Oops, that's only three days to go. Well, a start is a start.

The story starts with a little monster that is afraid of himself. His mother tries all sorts of things to let him overcome his fear, but nothing helps. And then one day, she's had enough. 'Go, go away, to the forest and come back when you're not scared anymore'.

To be continued...

Oh Saxa, you're hysterically funny! (Good for you if you come up with a conclusion... Your photo and story are somewhat allegorical of my projects... LOTS of incompletes, but never without something new to distract me just around the bend!

He is much too cute to be afraid of himself - I've said for quite awhile that your photos would make great children's stories illustrations, so glad to hear you are doing it!
