Ground, meadow and trees, sky, embankment rocks, the words on the paperboat, and the image texture come from photos taken by me.

The inspiration for "Trust your tiny paper boat" came to me from a talk and I had some time ago through comments here on DA. While I was already working on it, Teresa uploaded the wonderful Waiting in the castle, which made me think about inserting a castle in this pic and the incipt itself of the tale as a sort of texture in the sky: Teresa was so kind to scan and send me a page of her original manuscript. Some days ago, and just before I uploaded "Trust your tiny paper boat", she uploaded A million hesitations. My pic was nearly completed, and I realized that it could be, at least in my own view, the representation of the very last lines of Teresa's poem.
