Thank you. It seemed that Emil needed a title.

Glad you like. I thought Emil made a fascinating character.

You should be able to get a few clues to the scene I've set in the text, through the gesso. Emil rules! I am hoping his dancing partners get collaged into the piece somehow. And according to the text, the mamas of the girls sat on pins and needles....
Quite a story!

Should be a week, I suspect, unless the Christmas rush holds it up.

..is there a face intended - in that acrylic section ? ..... what's cool about these collabs - is that any step could be considered complete in itself ..I like this just the way it is .
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yes, so do I... it seems to be complete...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, no! Not complete! Emil must have a backstory of course, and then there are the stories of his dancing partners and their mamas...!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
... see ? - it's complete ! ... give it up ! ... ( *scheinbar has seconded the notion )... pray, pull it off the assembly line before it is too late .... it would be like adding a moustache to the Mona Lisa ....( oh ! --- you say that's been done already ? ....well - so what ? ..... pull it !, I say ..... lets not make the same mistake twice )

Don't look now, but there are a few mallards in raincoats in the phone booth across the street. Reallly, one little address gets you one little card and then peace returns to the land.

.... Jesus H Christ ! ...... it's the Secret Mallard Branch ...( the dreaded SMB ) .... I always thought they were an urban myth ??
.... you didn't have to send 'them' out did you ? ...to accost a kindly ex alter boy - who never hurt no one ..

One small playing card (glue stick included), one huge leap for your peace of mind.

...ha ! -- I never was an alter boy !

Fear of ducks makes one do strange thing. See, the strategy is working.

...how little dost thou know me ....you think you have found my room 101 ...ha ! ... I am afraid of nothing !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Clearly, I will have to admit failure here.
But I tried. Oh, how I have tried.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...what ? ...giving up ? ? ...is this some new kind of strategy ? ......huh ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, actually, it is. I am going to feign an air of unconcern and see how that works. Also, I have retracted the offer of a glue stick. It is no longer available, because you did not act in time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
... no glue stick ? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As you can see from a previous post, for a limited time only, the Free Glue Stick Offer has been reinstated. I urge you to Act Now.

.... I will ponder short and shallow on this matter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...I'm still pondering..
...just in case you were wondering ...which , of course, you weren't .........quack !
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes, there is what I call a Wind Face. It is what drove the story, actually, of the dancer. The collabs are incredible to work on because no matter where one is in the list, there is something new to learn. Why are you not involved in the collaborative fun, by the way? I would think you would enjoy it tremendously. We have openings in Artful Dodgers as well as in 7panels. Hmmmm....?

...the ducks keep pecking ... lord have mercy !
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The ducks are on a mission. They think you should just say "okay, send me a little playing card right now." I mean, it's one little card. All you would have to do is make a mark on it somewhere! Geesh. As for the losing of things, I could punch a hole in the corner and attach a long lanyard as a sort of "idiot string," not referring to you, of course, but to the string connecting mittens that was threaded through a child's coat sleeves to prevent them from going missing.
Quack.

..have I been insulted !? ....obviously the 'string' is a substitute for moi ! .... bring on your pecking duckies - I am a match for them ..en guard you little beaks from dodger hell !

...I like your duckie , kat ....so docile and unpecky like.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't think I don't get the comparison....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
..her duckie and your raincoated mallards are from different tribes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, yeah, that's true. I'll give ya that!
