These are the six panels I submitted for my final critique. I chose to do them in collage in the end. Lots of picking up tiny triangles, flowers, stitches, eyelashes etc with tweezers and lots and lots of glue everywhere.
Nice to post it today - I just opened google to see that today is the 200th anniversary of the first publication of Grimm's Fairytales.
They were a bit of a dark and twisted pair, if you re-read some of their original stories.
Little Red Riding Hood certainly has some creepy undertones.
This is my version.
On a windy day a little girl
wearing a red riding hood set out from her house to visit her grandma. Her grandma lived in the forest and she was
sick.
As she was walking through
the forest a wolf appeared unexpectedly. The girl was frightened because the wolf looked hungry. But the wolf spoke flowers and soft things to
her.
When he asked her where she was
going, she told him she was going to visit her grandma.
The wolf left and the girl
continued on her way. But she became
distracted by all the beautiful wild flowers that grew beside the path. She stopped to pick a bunch for her grandma.
Meanwhile the wolf arrived
at her grandma’s house.
He let himself in and he ate
her.
When the little girl arrived
at the door to her grandma’s house she felt strange, like she had prickles in
her stomach. But she convinced herself
it was nothing and went inside.
The wolf was pretending to
be her grandma and lured her into bed with him.
Then he ate her too.
He took out a very sharp
pair of scissors and cut the wolf’s stomach open and freed the girl and her
grandma who were ok. A little bit messy,
but still ok.
The end.
