Welll...I almost didn't post this. There's a funny story behind it, but I'm not telling, because it's probably only funny to me

I'd been studying some Medieval illuminated text on a lark when I made this, just kind of soaking up the prettiness of it all. I wanted a fairy tale theme mirror based on the idea of 'what the story gives us'. Anyway...it's not my most successful idea, it's too busy and...stuff. But I enjoyed making it, so I guess it was successful in that way. It was really fun playing around with the different concepts in this. And the mirror frame, based on illuminated decorations on old texts, was great fun, like doodling in the corner of piece of paper.

What does the story give?

Something precious, lost but found. But there is always a catch...(frog) I love froggies, you've probably noticed. Kisses to the frog.

Renewal (fairy)

A magic potion to heal (or harm), from a secret recipe. *imagine a soft witches cackle here* (dark lady lower right)

A pretty apple for you my dear (treachery, old hag with apple)

Hope to escape an unjust confinement (princess sends her precious necklace and a note tied to a doves leg from her tower window)

Danger! (what good is a story without it?!) (dragon)

Courage and perseverance in the face of extreme hardship (Bearskin)

A reward for just-bein'-your-good-old-self (little trollish fella with a bag of loot)

Whelp...it was fun, but I cain't guarentee it's a masterpiece

Love to you all, sorry I'm scarce. Life is busy, but good
