(...) Very cool idea for a vignette and well carried out. It expresses the feeling and atmosphere of the song really well, the beginning is peaceful and this is really well reflected in your vignette. I would love to see a series of vignettes for (...)

Hi all, Here is my first attempt at a vignette. It is a recreation of the first two lines of the famous Australian (URL) Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Patterson. For those who don't know: a swagman is a sort of rural itinerant and a billabong is a (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
