That is a wonderful story and for some reason I have s similiar story somewhere in the recesses of my mind, but I can't quite pin point it, so I wonder if there is a similar version stashed in my databases?
I have been wanting to do a post to thank you for your wonderful drawing but was considering how best to do it other than just, 'thank you the end' so I might be doing something in kind :) We shall see.
there is quite a lot of variations of it...some have a pesant girl and a boy sent by the queen to pluck it out etc...
...as for the gratitude - there rly is no need. But if it inspires you or whatever, then go for it. :) I always say motivation and ispiration are the fuel for creation. :)
