She - Why did you create this work?
I created this project to showcase a fun and chaotic situation where birds fight over a yarn ball. The escalating tug-of-war and the giant bird swooping in to claim it bring a sense of humor and unpredictability. The bird’s transformation into a giant yarn ball adds a twist, and the clever little bird’s solution brings the story to a surprising and inventive conclusion. - How were your illustrations used?
