9x12 sketchbook, watercolor & ink
Just recently watched (finally) the entire movie of Ella Enchanted with my daughter and decided to open my everyday sketchbook and use it for this weeks' IF prompt for the word 'save'.
I was totally 'into' this movie. I can't explain why except maybe it's because I've always loved medieval costumes and romantic chivalry. The fact that she was put under a spell at birth to be obedient and hoped that someone would 'save' her from a lifetime of obedience may also be a factor. I was always the 'good girl' who did what I thought was expected of me (well most of the time!) and what I felt everyone wanted of me. I've come a long way with that sort of thinking..... :)
Although it didn't get great reviews and apparently is way off from the original book, my daughter & and I found it whimsical and charming. It also had a great 'moral to the story' ending -- Ella realizes she had the power to 'save' herself, that the strength she needed was inside of her all along. Hmmm....
Here's to a great week!
