Done for an ATC swap based on the Hans Christian Anderson stories. This one was one of the saddest stories I ever read, entitled "The Bottleneck." I recommend it!

The music notes were an afterthought but I'm very glad I included them! I feel they really add something to the peice. They represent the bird in the cage with him. The bottle has a touch of glitter to represent how the sun glinted off of him at his highest hour. and on-looking are the two young lovers whose story intertwines with his.

As usual my scanner hates the lighter copics. So much for my 5-color shaded clouds!

I hope the reciever likes it ^_^
