Fractured Fairy Tales



I found this a challenging book to work on, and had to think for a long time about what to do with these fractured fairy tales. So while the actual work took little time, I did spend a lot of time thinking around the subject. In the end it was fun... playing with the words and using simple thumb prints. These books are certainly making us all think and do things a bit outside our comfort level....which is great.

  2. Hi Helen,

    I'm very excited to see this in the flesh. Theme prints I would not have thought of that its brilliant. I think my little book has caused everyone who has so far encountered it to take moment, pause and then steam forward. I love what you have done its a great way of interpreting the theme!
    Cheers Tamara
