Description
Please do yourself (and me...) a favour, see the full view, thanks.SAVING THE TREES
The important (blue) parts of TGM (The Giant Mushroom) are cut into pieces by Witchy and The Other Witch and kept in the bag The Other Witch carries. It looks like they are decorating the wood. And they are. They just know humans are coming back for the thicker trees that still stand. Curious as people are, they will want to know what the blue parts are.
"What is that nice smell?"
"I want to have some!"
"Look, have you ever seen that?!"
Before they tear down some wonderful old trees, they surely will try to purchase some of those shiny blue parts swinging on the thin thread. People never saw this before, they will want to know.
Only people with huge vehicles will be able to get so high (climbing on the vans), to be able to reach that high. Children and other quite innocent persons who just walk kind of peacefully in the Wood, just wont be able to touch the poiseness parts. What will happen to those who come to chop down is this: The moment they touch a part, humans fall off their vehicle, and sink into the ground for 1 day, with their heads just above the ground. They cant move, and the Witches will pay their "students" a nice visit and do some chatting with them and teach them a lesson in the meantime.
You will not be surprised to learn, that people who experienced this, will leave the Wood as soon as they can. Telling everyone who wants to know to stay out of this creepy, dangerous wood. And the poison of TGM has some long-term function as well: people who hear the story of the treechoppers, will believe it for sure and stay away as well. (The Red Snails will take care of the vehicles for sure, pas de probleme).
The Witches can be satisfied for now, although their hearts bleed for the trees that could not be saved.
Pastel, 50 x 60 centimeters.
Hope you enjoy,
Nancy

Good story Nancy. I love the way the two witches help each other. They are such good friends--and friends to the forest too. So nice they didn't really kill the woodchoppers, but did punish them for being so bad. It is nice that the little innocent kids can't reach the poisonous mushrooms.

Chapter 40 is weer een geweldige verrassing. Het verhaal is geweldig bij "Saving the Trees" heel mooi en fantasievol.
De menselijke hebberigheid is herkenbaar en dat ze dan plotseling de grond in zakken is super bedacht.
En Witchy geeft ze toch nog een kans om de mensheid te waarschuwen zodat deze actie zich als een olievlek uitbreidt.
De pastel is heel mooi, de kleuren weer geweldig gekozen. Het maantje is net nog te zien tussen de bomen. Wat een mooie samenwerking van deze bescherm Witchy's van de natuur. Ze zijn hard nodig.
Ik zie nu voor het eerst volgens mij dat Witchy zakken in haar jurk heeft!!
Toppie, het is weer een mooie pastel. Een :+fav;

Dank je Cor voor het mooie, uitgebreide comment. Ik heb er lang aan gewerkt, en vond het heerlijk. Het was een hele klus en de moeite waard. Alles wat ik erin heb gestopt, is door jou gezien. Ook de zak op de jurk. Ze heeft meerdere blauwe jurken hoor. Sommige met, en sommigen zonder zakken. Op een dag als vandaag handig om zakken te hebben, voor af en toe een stukje blauwe paddestoel, nietwaar!

This is really so good Nancy !! Looking at all the details in it !! How Witchie holds the broom !! for instance, makes me laugh, in spite of the serious matter that makes the two work so hard !! And the bad people will be punished by the witches !!, That seems to me to be very realistic. Very smart invention of the three !! ladies.
