IF: Impossibility/Vaudeville - Act 2

Clara, with great poise, proved to her audience that it is not impossible to hold 2 mischievous birds while balancing delicately on one foot.

IF: Subtract. One Down, Nineteen To Go.

Little Winnie Faulkner had a devilish plan which involved some Tooth Fairy trickery and an early retirement.

IF: Legendary

"...and I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy!"
"All right," said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
"Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!" ~Lewis Carroll

IF: Intricate/Vaudeville - Act 1

Clementine - Revisited

The birdie landed! I have also painted the sides of the canvas black which I think really suits this piece. When her face and eyes are finished, I will update the picture. Then I need to work on the bird cage.

IF: Sail (on a Shark!)

IF: Punchline

I had no idea what the girl was going to write on the chalkboard for "Punchline", but made it clear she had better think of something by the time her "set" was complete.
In the meantime i had been listening to Joanna Newsom and one of her lyrics is "it was a funny, funny little thing" and i thought, HeY! That's what a Punchline is... It's a funny little thing!

So there you have it.

IF: Grow

The Girl followed the rather curious advice of The Ominous Voice and decided to try growing up.

IF: Captain

And so The Cloud That Speaks gathered his cloud friends and together they carried The Girl in her Ship through the vast Sky on her quest to discover where here is.

IF: Emergency - Birdie to the Rescue!

The Girl might have known better for although it appears some clouds can speak, it does not mean that little girls can fly.

IF: Missing

"But where is here?" The Girl cried at the top of her voice,
stomping her feet.
The Cloud That Speaks shuddered and sank
just a very little bit
and The Girl stared, waiting for the answer
with her hands placed firmly on her hips.
She was meaning business, it was quite evident!
