Hither, Through The Sky- Aschenputtel

Description

’Hither, hither, through the sky,
Turtle-doves and linnets, fly!
Blackbird, thrush, and chaffinch gay,
Hither, hither, haste away!
One and all come help me, quick!
Haste ye, haste ye!–pick, pick, pick!’

This is an illustration of Aschenputtel calling birds to help her sort lentils from ash. One of the tasks her stepmother stet for her, when Aschenputtel asked her to go to the festival.

To me this is a little too illustration like and not normal like but it is still good. I always pictured her kinda singing and dancing when she says the rhyme. And yes her hair is more blonde in this it is. This picture was inspired by an Anastasiya Archipova picture from her illustraions of ‘Favourite Grimm’s Tales’

The other way I pictured her to sort the lentils from the ash was that she ran to her mothers grave and said to the willow tree:

‘Willow tree, Willow tree
Help me in a dash
And Sort the Lentils from the ash’

then birds came down and helped her.
