    i remember a children song…
    three blind mice, three blind mice
    see how they run
    they all run after the farmers wife
    she cut off thier tails with a carving knife
    poor three blind mice… :)

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Aw thank you for singing it to me- This was the inspiration for my drawing- but I made up my own words, because they turned out like little gangster mice instead hee hee x

  • Marion Chapman

    Marion Chapman

    beautiful work…...very well done….:)

    Detail, detail and yet more detail. One could spend a pleasant afternoon with a cup of tea gazing into this picture to ensure that one hadnt missed any birds on the flower stems or the folds of the sleeves of the mice or two little front teeth of the tottering trio. Another rhyme from old – with a modern take on it :o) Cool. xx

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Thank you- When the drawing evolved, I felt they looked like little “Mafia Thugs”- well maybe in their youth lol- so I wanted to give the poem a wee twist hee hee x

  • gottheshot

    gottheshot

    Three Blind Mice – the Italian version :o) LOL
    Watching too much Godfather – when you were in your yoof :o)
    The combination of an established classic with a modern twist is certainly your
    forte. The essence of the original whether mice or Alice – has a sense of
    a Dickensian novel (been around and part of culture since forever) and yet
    - BANG- a freshness injected into it to bring it up to date without smothering
    the original. Your work is an homage to the originators of the stories or rhymes.
    I think the originators would love to see your artwork on their ideas from so long ago.

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Wow- I’m honoured you think that, what a lovely perspective. I think its important to include a smattering of humour where you can (If only to amuse oneself LOL) xxx Than you so much Paul

    three blind rats,ran from the london flats,cus they had their tails,on the electric rails,and were shocked to learn—it hurt like hell and burn,them to the core. like some tax write off ??bore!!!! agh agh! the house of commons no more!!

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Har- You lost me on that one, but I like lol xxxx

  • georgiegirl

    georgiegirl

    So brilliant!! They’re so well dressed, nobody would suspect them for the disappearance of the farmer’s wife. Thank goodness for plastic surgery, cos mice tails just don’t grow back like skink’s tails do!!!

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Hee Hee brilliant- Thank you so much for that GG xxxxxxx

  • Cynthia Lund Torroll

    Cynthia Lund T...

    sigh I’m in love with a blind man, but, he won’t see me this afternoon
    I’m in love with a blind man, but, he won’t lasso me the moon
    He never looks me in the eye, you see
    I don’t know, at all, what he sees in me
    I’m in love with a blind man, and this I do not feign
    And if he knew I wrote this, he’d beat me with his cane

    lol

    I like your piccie!

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Thank you- I like your ditty :))))) sigh (I like your sighs too) xx
