    Don't Dilly Dally!

    Don't dilly dally little girl....go straight to Gran'ma's and back home before dark.
    Gran'ma may just be one of the werefolk and there is a full moon this night!

    I hope you like this. I am working on a few illustrations of fairy tales.


    I wanted to add a few more details...but saved as a second version just in case it is too much detail.
    The little girl anxiously walks through the dark woods to her grandmothers house to bring her fresh bread from her mother's kitchen. Her mother carelessly send the little girl to feed her mother knowing that something is un-natural about her own mother. There on the path there is a snake slithering toward her shiny black shoes, and limbs reaching out to nab her.
    Kind of a fractured fairy tale kind of thing...
    Don't worry-the child has powers of her own and makes it back just in time with a basket of clover and a silver chain found on the trail carefully placed by her fairy friend she lovingly named Bubba.
    Haha! didn't expect that one did ya?.....

    Hi Dried Rice, thank you! The hardest part is knowing when to stop on these things! I think I have fifty layers.

    That is what I tried to convey Jon, thanks!
