Thumbelina – JP3178 Buy Cheap Cheapest

There are three options to choose from including a wood surface bundle for this design.  The unique sloped top trunk measures 16″ wide x 9″ deep and 12″ tall.  Open it and there is a removable try inside.  It is beautifully constructed of birch ply and pine.

Thumbelina was written by Hans Christian Anderson (1805-1895) in 1835. The story was highly popularized by Danny Kaye singing the Frank Loesser song “Thumbelina” and we know the story more today as Thumbelina.

There is a wonderful recent translation from the original Danish by Diane Crone Flank and Jeffrey Flank of “The Stories of Hans Christian Anderson,” Duke University Press, Durham N.C. and London, 2005, ISBN, 0-8223-3693-6. It is from the story of Thumbelina in this book that I took the inspiration for the illustrations here presented.

#6 flat or filbert, #2 & 3 round, ¼” and 3/8 “ Possibilities brush. – Basic painting.
#2 liner – Fine details, letter-ing.
1” old brush – Applying Retarder.
½”-3/4” Possibilities brush – Dry brushing.
*Note: I really enjoyed the soft blending touch of the Possibilities brushes for most of the lightly blended objects, moving to the #2 round brush for smaller details, such as arms, legs, faces, etc.
