Felt inspired to draw for
When KMY looked at MGT eating with others in Bluebeard's Secret I really felt her loneliness and pain. I wondered if she walked for hours next to the beach that day too, as she left her phone and bag at the hospital. Her silent pain 💔 https://t.co/z5UgWRnlBJ

Great game of Bluebeards Bride (by & M. Kelly) with students! They squirmed when flesh-eating beetles began to "beautify" them!

The Bride shattered & spent the rest of her days sewing patterns into her flesh to create beauty...

Bluebeard has an incredibly long history. Unlike most fairy-tales, its origins can be traced to real events and people – horrific tales of murdering noblemen and insecure husbands, dating back to 15th century France and beyond. https://t.co/i1mO1Gudjc
