Alas, she didn't accept it as she was in love with another. He decided to heck with women and was joined by the crooked cat and mouse. In the print above, he has come in position of another 6 pence and is going to try again for the little crooked woman who lived down the road in the opposite direction.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-27363025628201067142020-04-03T19:00:03.820-04:002020-04-03T19:00:03.820-04:00I like your woodcut, where everything is crooked. ...I like your woodcut, where everything is crooked.

I always loved this one. I think part of that is as a child I (an my children after me) used to go to Fairyland in Oakland, CA, and one of the features was the Crooked Man. I found him fascinating for some reason! I love that you even crooked the grass!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592568959570035100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-12062354912359928682020-04-03T13:48:55.732-04:002020-04-03T13:48:55.732-04:00I love the idea of a love token ;) You are so righ...I love the idea of a love token ;) You are so right, families comes in many forms<br /><a href="https://quiltingpatch.blogspot.com/2020/04/a-z-c-colour-couleur.html" rel="nofollow"> C is for Colour </a> Frédérique - Quilting Patchwork Appliquéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307507105646376697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-10696254726141659792020-04-03T13:10:33.904-04:002020-04-03T13:10:33.904-04:00We all have nursery rhymes in our heads I'm su...We all have nursery rhymes in our heads I'm sure, but do we ever look between the words to discover a deeper meaning?

I love your illustration, and I think it's perfect that everything in it is crooked. Well, perhaps perfect is an entirely incorrect word for such a space, but it does make me happy. <br /><br />I didn't know about crooked coin love tokens, but I'm certainly charmed.
