Endpaper Challenge Day 5: Nursery Rhyme

 

To make my nursery rhyme endpaper I disappeared down multiple worm holes, and ended up at mother goose, but I wanted her to be a happy, non-threatening glorious free woman, and I suppose to this end the design includes her chimney stack hat blowing away.

The central egg is gold (I love my glitter watercolours) and the geese have the nursery rhyme books in their beaks. I put down a thick base of emulsion paint as I like to work on this surface and it liberates the paper from it's precious newness.
