[Illustration: Fig. 77b] [Illustration: Fig. 77c] In series thirty I drew a fish-hook with line, and you see it turned into a flower (Figs. 78, 78a): [Illustration: Fig. 78] [Illustration: Fig. 78a] Then came an obelisk, and Craig got it, but with novel effects, thus (Figs. 79, 79a): [Illustration: Fig. 79] [Illustration: Fig. 79a] Now why should an obelisk go on a jag, and have little circles at its base? The answer appears to be: it inherited the curves from the previous fish-hook, and the little circles from the next drawing. You will see that, having used up her supply of little circles, Craig did not get the next drawing so well (Figs. 80, 80a): [Illustration: Fig. 80] [Illustration: Fig. 80a] In series twenty-two I first drew a bed, and Craig made two attempts to draw a potted plant. My second drawing was a maltese cross, and Craig turned it into a basket (Figs. 81, 81a): [Illustration: Fig. 81] [Illustration: Fig. 81a] But she could not give up her plant. She added: “There is a flower basket in this lot, or potted plant.” The next drawing was a fleur-de-lis, which looks not unlike a potted plant or hanging basket (Fig. 82): [Illustration: Fig. 82] In drawing four she got the elements of a door-knob pretty well, and added: “See head of bird, too—eagle beak.” Drawing seven was a crane, with beak open. _16_ I could go through all thirty-five of the series, listing such “anticipations” as this: but I have given enough to show how the thing goes. Such occurrences make it hard for Craig because, when she has once drawn a certain object, she naturally resists the impulse to draw it again, thinking it is nothing but a memory. Thus, in series thirteen, my first drawing was a savage woman carrying a bundle on her head, and Craig drew the profile of a head with a long nose. My next drawing was the profile of a head, with a very conspicuous nose, and Craig wrote: “Face again, but [I] inhibit this. Then come two hands, and below”—and she draws what might be a cross section of a skull, side view. Yet sometimes she overcomes this handicap triumphantly. Series twelve is marked: “Hastily done,” and she adds the general comment: “Several times saw bristles on things of different shapes, some flowers, some bristled brushes. Saw flower, also more than once”—and then she appends a drawing of a four-leaf clover. As it happened, this series contained a three-leaf clover, and it contained another flower, and also a cactus-plant—more of one kind of thing than it was fair to put into one set of drawings. Nevertheless, Craig scored one of her successes with the cactus, setting it down as “fuzzy flower” (Figs. 83, 83a): [Illustration: Fig. 83] [Illustration: Fig. 83a] Nor was she afraid to repeat herself when she came to another “fuzzy flower” in this series (Figs. 84, 84a): [Illustration: Fig. 84] [Illustration: Fig. 84a]
