This sketch originated from another scrap of a ripped up monotype that turned on its side, happens to resemble a face and hat of a fairy tale character. The rest is improvised. I think it just might turn up again as a fully realized children’s book illustration.

Thanks Barbara. It’s a two-way street;)
I love the way the mouse perches on her craggy fingers and how the mouses feet curl!
