Take a Word Challenge - Childhood

This picture is special to me. The two pages in the book are pictures taken by me from an old puzzle-blocks-thingie. I have no idea how it is called. Its a puzzle I have as long as I can remember and there are 6 puzzles to be made, all fairytales. As a kid I was always drawn in by fairytales and used to imagine I lived in the fairytale world so I made this picture for the challenge childhood.

All pictures used are from my private collection with exception of the bubble brushes.

The file is megabig. I am sorry for that. I tried cropping and resizing it, but the picture is best at this size. So a Big picture. Enjoy.

  14. Hi Sadie - Sorry I am late with my comments this week. Your picture may be mega big but what a joy it was to enlarge it to full size and see all the beautiful details which are difficult to see in the small version. The picture means more because it has come from your own childhood. Wonderful design and lovely artwork.
