Mary Mary

I decided to do Mary Mary Quite Contrary as my nursery rhyme.

The last line has many different versions, but I've decided to retain its most common itteration :D This way I can have my character be not the actually "Mary" in the verse, but instead have Mary be this all power being that is over looking her garden from above, and have one of the "maidens" in charge of caring for the garden.....

Mary mary quite contrary

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells

And little maidens all in a row

I liked this image of Mary that I found--I see it as a little loney, or aloof. I also like this idea of a path cutting through the center of the garden that Mary walks to and from.

I also like the idea of stylizing the characters in some way--right now the idea is of angular joints and round faces, and doing something similiar with the plants.
