When Lucy Spratch grew older, she discovered numerous sealed jars with small figures enclosed in them, hidden in the backyard shed. She pretended they were her friends. As she played, she discovered that instinctively she knew their names.
This is part of the series of Mrs Spratch drawings that I began a year ago. You can see the rest of the drawings HERE
In this drawing, Lucy Spratch is the inordinately heavy baby grown into a young child.
wonderful piece of work!!! Congratulations!!
Yikes, that is quite a story, sinister too in that we can’t see the protagonist’s face. Nicely unsettling.
This is a truly magical site! The colours, the drawings and the way it’s set up. And I agree, a bit spooky! What was the conversation about making linoleum easier to cut – some tool. I’d like to know more but couldn’t follow the comments back to the original one. Great stuff!
Connie, Hmm, let me climb into my time machine box and have a look see.
WOW! Unique colours, story, perspective and feel! I really love this and the unusual story and characters
It looks like Lucy discovered the old monkey business of bottling wailing kids. Maybe she will release their souls.
I like your drawing style.
I wish I could remember where to look for the linoleum comment, I’m not having any luck.
Claude, next I’ll back up and fill in some some gaps that will at least explain where the figures in the jars came from.
OOPS!
