This swap theme is all about children pretending, so let’s pretend.....but with a challenge. Pretend you received an exciting commission from a children’s publishing house to illustrate one of the children’s rhymes or tales listed below. (Ok, maybe this happened a few decades ago - LOL - humor me). Anyway, you need to be open to illustrating whatever your number choices dictate. After signing up on the thread, please PM me three number choices, from 1 to 18. The titles below are secretly numbered by me, and I will PM you back with the titles you need to illustrate, according to your blind number choices.
There will no doubt be repeats, but different interpretations and styles are always fun to see. Do identify the TITLE on the back of each card, along with your USERNAME and the SWAP NAME. Here’s the list I’m working from:

Little Red Riding Hood
Owl and the Pussycat
Alice in Wonderland
Hansel and Gretel
Mary Mary Quite Contrary
Goldilocks
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater
Cinderella
Jack and the Beanstalk
Little Miss Muffet
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Little Boy Blue
Rupenzel
Three Little Kittens
Little Bo Peep
Old Mother Hubbard
Thumbelina
Jack and Jill

MAILING: Please PM me for my mailing address when cards are ready to send. each card should be placed in its own plastic sleeve. Spread and lightly tape cards (Washi tape or painter’s tape) to travel as flat as possible. Be sure to include an address label and one Forever stamp for returns. INTERNATIONALS, please send $1 or a Global Forever stamp.

Jo, don’t you know, we’re all talented illustrators here? I’m sure that’s what the Cheshire Cat would say. Your titles have been PMd to you and I will sign you up now.
 
I'd like to give this a go. Had a big book of nursery rhymes and tales when I was a kid - my siblings and I tore it up with endless reading and rereading.
 
Great, Strivaria! Please PM me your three numbers between 1 and 18.
 
Welcome Strivaria and Essy! Titles have been PMd and I will sign you up now.

For lots of painting fun!
 
You got it, artbymee! Please PM me your three numbers.
 
Artbymee, in case you see this first, please check your messages. I PMd you hoping to make it clearer how this swap works. Just want to be sure you understand before I sign you up.
 
Glad to have you! Your titles have been PMd, and I am signing you up now.
