This month's Patreon wallpaper is a fairy tale illustration from the story Sleeping Beauty or Briar Rose. I've chosen to illustrate a moment from the Brothers Grimm version. Looking back on the text - I think I'd like to rework the thorns with grasping hands - maybe.

Round about the castle a thorn hedge began to grow, and every year it became higher, until it finally surrounded and covered the entire castle. Finally nothing at all could be seen of it, not even the flag on the roof.
A legend circulated throughout the land about the beautiful sleeping Little Brier-Rose, for so the princess was called. Legends also told that from time to time princes came, wanting to force their way through the hedge into the castle. However, they did not succeed, for the thorns held firmly together, as though they had hands, and the young men became stuck in them, could not free themselves, and died miserably.
