COOOOOOOOL

Hey! Why have my books never opened any trans-dimensional gateways?! Harrumph!

delicious to view.

very poetic render

So you left your book, and it entered a fairy tale world---with a door right in the middle of a page, which leads to a whole other world on the other side. Tell me where you left it, 'cause I got a ton of books I'd love to transform...Wonderful mix of fairy tale and surrealism; the door reminds me of Magritte, the surrealist painter, as it's something he would do esp with that crystal clear field on the other side. And you have all these little bits and pieces of fairy-tale worlds, all occupying the small space...a horse with antlers, a cat with the wings of Pegasus, an hour glass (always a great folktale element, as folklore always dwells in the mystery of passing time), that little mushroom cottage, a greek column (w/ vines), a cat, and that great doorway tilted back to your new world behind it...not to mention a 19th C balloon and clouds, all in a little area of a forest. Delightful. And I tried to read the book---it's in German, in old calligraphic print; but I can't make out the words (I studied German 90 million years ago, and still remember a few phrases; but the print isn't easy to read, and it's not supposed to be: I'm just snooping...) The opening through the book suggests that everything you did here came out of the story in the book. A delightful world-within-world image, kind of a hall of mirrors; and a total delight. I don't know how you pull all these disparate elements into a single magical vision: I'd stare at them, and wonder "what in the world am I gonna DO with all these?" You handle this with total panache. (Oh, and I forgot the star cookies---if that's what they are. Something with icing on top...)

(here's a google link to Magritte, in case you don't know his work or know it well: Just look at the thumbnails, and see how he places beautiful skies and fields in his backgrounds, sometimes through openings; and how they have nothing to do with the object in front of them...they remind me of what you did here, only you did it with magic rather than surrealistic 'mind-tricks'...https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1270&bih=1278&ei=KN97W8vwLKHCjwSPx7qYAg&q=magritte&oq=magritte&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1380.2554.0.2653.9.7.0.2.2.0.91.353.6.6.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..1.8.363.0..35i39k1.0.41pFzoIiOXU)

Awesome!

Mushroom house, yum, lol. My fav is the kitty on the steps! What strange other dimensional creature have you unleashed into our universe B-Po...

I like the doorway into the book, fantastic idea.

Nice idea. Very fine work.

Lovely image! Thank you very much!
