Zopunzel

February 12, 2022 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment

Here comes the month of February. After some brutally cold days in January, I’m glad to be inching closer to spring. Another month out, but a short one, we’re getting there soon! My brain is already on seedlings. Other minds, however, are on warm thoughts of a different kind this month.

You can see below that Zo and Zak are taking full advantage of the well-known February holiday to bring you another amusing drawing. Look at how cute they are. Zak looks totally smitten. Zo is definitely eating that up. There’s nothing she enjoys more than attention and compliments.

Miss Zo had a lot of fun costuming this piece, too. She put on a lovely braided wig and found the perfect princely cap for her gander. That tower, too! That was a lot of work–hanging that lantern with the beanstalk wrought-iron embellishment. Just a divine scene.

We did go back and forth about the title, though. RapunZo…Zopunzel… In the end, the latter won. As you know, Zo feels she should come first, and this appealed to her best.

Well, I’ll let you all have a good look as I go plan March…
