The Tailor of Gloucester
My photographic take on 'The Tailor of Gloucester'. Wrtten by Beatrix Potter (1902).
Taken for the 'Macro Monday' - 'My Favourite Novel (Fiction)' challenge: 15th January 2018.
I couldn't single out a novel which I could say was my favourite, so I picked my favourite illustrated book. I'm a visual person and connect more to illustrations and the screen than the written word.
Beatrix Potter is a national hero for us Brits, a great story teller, a very talented illustrator and a champion of the Lake District. Her watercolours really brought her characters to life. I choose this book I really liked the iconic image of the mouse sitting on top of the cotton reel. I'm an animal lover, so the thought of mice being anthropomorphic really sparked my imagination.
My photo is maybe a bit tame in comparsion, but I gave it my best. I've had in the back of my mind that I wanted to mix some 2D drawing into a macro for while, so I went down this route. Drawing a tiny mice was very difficult, despite using a mechinal pencil my lines look a bit messy up close.
