I honestly admit that I am not a Dickens scholar, hardly a Dickens reader. Although I do confess to being one of the only people I know who liked A Tale of Two Cities when we read it in high school. This photo is a result of happenstance more than planning.I should claim to have known exactly how it would turn out, but I didn’t. Merging a photo of a Dickens collection and a photo of a doll’s face from an antique shop, together with a variety of blending modes produced Little Dorrit. Through trial and error I did learn a technique by which I can repeat the process.I’m anxious to hear what you think of the photo.

They are great stories that can be read for pleasure and not just as a scholarly exercise; hope you find time to sample them. Little Dorrit would be a good one to read, having said that I haven’t read all of his stuff either! I like the image, it seems to work well though it seems the doll is about to swallow Little Dorrit whole!!

Too funny! I hadn’t noticed her swallowing until I went back to look! Oh well……
