I have given Gretel a little gingerbread man to keep her company. Below you can see the finished work as it appears at My Good Babushka. Or click here for the listing.
Misty Forest has now become The Last I Saw Gretel. I scoured some of my vintage photographs and I found one of my mother, probably from 1940 or 41, when she was just a baby. She looked sort of worried. I plucked her out of the photo and gave her some color. Now she's Gretel, the little girl lost in my Misty Forest.
