A collage.

Do you know "Just so stories" by Kipling? I heard them when I was small. I especially love his way of telling about images and what's behind. The most well known story might be that of The Elephant's Child, but it has no link to my image.

This here crab reminds me of Pau Amma, in "the crab that played with the sea". More exactly, it reminds me of "... Pau Amma the Crab rising out of the sea as tall as the smoke of three volcanoes".

On this image the canoe used by the Eldest Magician, the Man and his Little Girl Daughter cannot be seen. There are also more bubbles than in Kipling's. It must be because in my image, Pau Amma is just coming out. The water hasn't fallen down yet. The Man must be holding the canoe a little further back, to avoid splashes.
