Still stitching my story about Rapunzel. - Continuation 4

The prince is hiding behind a tree and sees the sorceress
climbing up to Rapunzel. The tower is very high - so the
whichlike woman is looking so small.
I helped to hide him with an insert - a tree painted on silk
several - oh many - years ago. I made it bloom a little 
and on the ground I stitched the French lilies which also
show on the cape of the young curious prince.




I used the stem of the tree for the cut to insert the square of the silk tree


Wind is blowing - silk ribbons knotted to the page


A Chinese enamelled horse is holding the pages back from closing


The reverse side of the insert - also painted silk. 
The colours are matching wonderfullly - as if painted just for the booklet
although I dabbled in silk painting long ago - in the 90ties.

(Here I want to emphasize again that the sweet drawings in the booklet 
are designed by Eleni Livanios - )
