What do you picture when you hear a fairy tale? The beautiful maidens that dance across the pages with grace and flair? Or the princes who ride on white steeds and save the day?

A few months ago I decided to picture-ify three fairy tales for a friend of mine, Hanna from I’ll Name My Typewriter After the Moon.

We are both crazy for fairy tales and would probably live in them if we could, so we both hung these photos over our desks. Hopefully they will help the inspiration flow.

My desk with the three photos in the magnet board in the corner, next to my inspiration wall.

And Hanna’s desk. You can tell she spends a lot of time there pouring herself onto pages. It’s a well-lived desk.

So tell me, what do you imagine when you read fairy tales?
