Description Three Blind Mice made for the Nursery Rhyme contest at

Three blind mice, three blind mice
See how they run, see how they run,
They all run after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice?

Love the fairy-tale feel that you've given to this manip! The details are wonderful too. The cowardly cat neglecting its duty and the wide-eyed farmer's wife forsaking modesty as she hoists her skirts and reveals her bloomers whilst balancing a-tiptoe upon the rickety stool reminded me of Mammy Two-Shoes, who faced a similar predicament in one of the old Tom and Jerry cartoons.

Really nice job; frame and texture add, subtly, to the great success. Mice and cat are super cute; she seems slightly cut-out but still works in a kind of a cartoon, and amazing job on dressing her and changing her arm. Well done shadowing.

It took me ages to find the right stock. It's hard when you have a specific idea in your mind to try to match it to stock. In the end i used several pieces to make the woman I wanted and took my own photo of a kitchen table to match. The cat was a treasure!!!

every time i come back to this one i laugh. it is soooo adorable. the only thing i guess i would have taken out is the texture. i think it would have more dimension if it didn't have it. sometimes it just flattens a picture.

your concept is nice and cute but I like it more because of the lady and because of the coloure/style choice of yours. The Texture on top of it gives it an older feeling.
