Top to toe

                              Fig 1 (above) Fig 2 (Below) Top to Toe by Hazel Terry

Top to Toe, is a depiction of Little red and the wolf sharing a bed, sleeping 'top to toe' and both reading but slightly different versions of the story.
This is my first drawing/poster /cover towards a variable story, depending on the path chosen or maybe the reader.
In doing a top to toe illustration I wanted to also refer to those amazing two in one dolls where one side is the grandmother/ Little Red Riding Hood, but under her skirt is the wolf, like the vintage doll below.

                                                   Fig 4 (below) Butterick pattern for reversible doll

  1. Hi Hazel,
    Sorry if I've mentioned this in the past but I've written and illustrated the story from 4 different points of view (Little Red, the wolf, grandma and the woodcutter). Can't remember if I've ever sent you a copy - would you be interested?
