Made a Harp of Her Breastbone by *arikla is a beautifully colored and interestingly surrealistic tradtional piece from the Anthro gallery. A fine touch of colored pencil and a great sense of movement really bring this whimsical image to life.

Description
Image inspired by Loreena McKennitt's "Bonny Swans" Especially the line about the harp...
"He made harp pins of her fingers fair
with a hey ho and a bonny o
He made harp strings of her golden hair
the swans swim so bonny o
He made a harp of her breast bone
with a hey ho and a bonny o
And straight it began to play alone
the swans swim so bonny o"
Not so easy to make a harp out of a breastbone, though. The top part is bird pelvis
Note: I am aware there are several variations on the song, and that it is based originally off of an older story. Loreena McKennitt's version sticks in my mind the most, however, so that is why it is listed as inspiration.
