Artist Statement: This sketch is the original drawing for what would become the “Grandstands” print in my Slow and Steady fabric collection for Free Spirit Fabrics. Slow and Steady told the well-known fable of “The Tortoise and the Hare”. I was drawn to the story of an earnest young turtle who proved everyone wrong through hard work, determination, and strength of character against arrogance and entitlement. This print was designed to represent all of the characters that came out to cheer the turtle on. At the end of the story they forgave the Hare for his character flaws and welcomed him back into the community. They represent second chances and acceptance. The sketch was drawn in pencil on design vellum. It was eventually redrawn by Tula Pink digitally in order to prepare for printing on fabric.
