Stand and Deliver!

This week I have been revisiting the bush ranger Ned Kelly, whose bones have recently been identified in a mass grave outside one of our oldest prisons. (you can find my original post here)

Well most of his bones - his skull is yet to be found. I had heard it was being used as a paper weight by the prison warden for quite a few years - and then vanished. But that could be apocryphal. But maybe not. The victors have often treated the bodies of the vanquished with distain. Just look at the Iliad and Hector and Achilles.

But before we go on, can you do me a favour? Just start the music in this youtube video while you look at the pics? - assuming you are looking at the pics !  It's not Kelly, but another bushranger. But it sounds kinda good. :0

Mitadrawingbelladrawingcesdrawingnuts: Layers

You know Ces? Ces is an artist brilliant. Very kind and generous, Ces sends her work around the world, both on the net and in real life. I am a recipient of her kindness.

If you know Ces you know Ces has a predilection for nuts- acorns in this case.

And so Ces being good friends with Bella, asked Bella to draw her, Ces, drawing nuts.

And thence threw down the challenge to Mita.

And at some other time, so the rumour goes, threw down the challenge that someone draw them all doing what they do do so well.

So here is "Mitadrawingbelladrawingcesdrawingnuts."

Layer upon layer.

Of course I didn't read the intsructions properly so I will have to do it again :)

All the images bar the top one are pretty big if you clicken them.

Thank you for looking.
