Description
With a snap of his fingers, the Crooked Man produced a long, sharp needle, threaded with coarse black string made from what looked like the knotted legs of dead beetles."Now why don't you work on your manners before you force me to sew your lips shut?"
--The Book of Lost Things, chapter XXII
I own the book finally.
Just a quick drawing of dear old TCM, looking far prettier than I imagined or planned, but I'll admit I like the result. He looks like Narissa from the Enchanted movie, I swear. That's probably the most disturbing thing about him. He also looks a bit saucy here, not the same pose he is in the book.
Blah coloring

I like that idea hehe. And did you mean sewing, instead of showing? Or is that how they say it in the book?

the title reminds me of a book I read where a witch showed a boy's lips shut and stuff. It was interesting.
