#into the woods
Stephen Sondheim
In tribute to the actual G.O.A.T. I’ve made likenesses of several of his characters. Now it’s the legend himself. I have versions holding songbooks for “Into the Woods” and “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Available now at my Etsy shop!
Rest in peace, Mr. Sondheim. You gave the world more than you can ever imagine. What a blessing to love musical theater and have shared this Earth with Stephen Sondheim.

image description: a colored print of a forest. The ground is entirely covered with orange and yellow leaves, and all the trees are missing their own leaves. In the center there is a puddle, which reflects the sky and the tops of the trees. Rays of light also shine on the center of the image, just above the puddle. end image description.

“Everything is eaten again, we have one half loaf left, and that is the end. The children must go, we will take them farther into the wood, so that they will not find their way out again. There is no other means of saving ourselves.” - Brothers Grimm (Models: @The_Dreamcatcher and Moxie. Rigging and photo by me.)

musical theatre quotes i gave my soul to pt.1
- “good things get better, bad get worse. wait- i think i meant that in reverse.”
- “deep talks, long walks, telephone calls. thoughts shared, souls bared, private names, all those photos up on the walls ‘with love’. ”
- “what’s the good in being good if everyone is blind, and you’re always left behind?”
- “anywhere you go let me go too. love me, that’s all i ask of you.”
- “faces! drink it in, drink it up till you’ve drowned in the light, in the sound. but who can name the face?”
- “i chose, and my world was shaken, so what? the choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. you have to move on.”
- “the tune seems sad, but are the words sad? what’s he saying? is he praying? and why does it get to me?”
- “and i don’t know what i feel and i don’t know what i know. all i know is i feel something different.”
- “i’ve been a lot of places, yes i’ve travelled near and far… but now i know that home is where you are.”
- “in the depths of her interior were fears she was inferior, or something even eerier. But no one dared to query her superior exterior.”
- “i can’t promise you fair sky above. can’t promise you kind road below. but i’ll walk beside you, love, any way the wind blows.”
- “to know how it ends and still begin to sing it again, as if it might turn out this time. i learned that from a friend of mine. ”
- “he told me how he loved me, how he needed and or valued me.”
- “why don’t we tell him that we don’t have the answers? and that life can be grim, life’s not all about him. and things rarely go according to plan. tell him things happen for no damned good reason, and his lack of control kills what’s best in your soul.”
