Crush the nettles with your feet and you will have flax. That flax you must spin and knit into eleven tunics with long sleeves; throw them over the eleven wild swans and the spell will be broken.

Hi ejbeachy!
I'm a blog writer for the website The Fairy Tale Blog. I love fairy tales, and it's my goal to raise awareness of them, and for the beautiful artwork that accompanies them. I'm enchanted by your work, and was wondering if I could include an image or two in my next blog post, in which will feature the text for both Grimm's The Seven Ravens and Anderson's The Wild Swans. I will be sure to credit your contribution, and include a link to redirect readers to your profile. You can reach me at elizabeth (at) thefairytaleblog.com. Please let me know by Friday, the 19th. Thank you for your time, and your beautiful art! <3

My absolute favourite Andersen's tale, this story is so creative and enchanting! Lovely illustration - I especially like the fact you gave dark hair to Eliza, most artists depict her with light an blond locks. I think it doesn't really suits with name "Eliza", with that name I think of someone more black-haired and pale-skinned, but that always was my interpretation. As I said, wonderful artwork!
