I'm from Texas. I say "howdy" and "y'all," I grew up riding horses in a western saddle, and I love chili peppers, especially jalapeños. So this is my take on "Jack and the Beanstalk."
I don't mind admitting it: that pepper plant was a nightmare. Cutting it out took a lot of time--no problema. But when I went to glue it down, it fell into a jillion pieces, and I nearly went crazy figuring out which leaf went where. I think I did OK, though, 'cause my botanist husband says it looks all right to him. If I ever do something like this again, I'm going to make a printed copy of it before I cut it out, just for reference when disaster strikes.
I don´t know this fairy tale but I can see your great cutting and gluing skills! Respect!
ReplyDeleteSabine, here's the short version: Jack plans a magic bean, The beanstalk that grows is so huge it can be climbed, and goes way, way up into the sky. Jack climbs the beanstalk. There's a giant at the top he must kill.
DeleteThank you Fi for the summary - your collage fits very well to this fairy tale!
DeleteGreat bit of snipping! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteLove your new version of this one, Fi, and there's such a nice contrast between the fiery pepper plant and that anatomical hand...very nice!
