In the fairytale a princess’s 11 brothers are cursed and turned into swans by an evil queen. The princess, who I outfitted in Danish inspired period clothing, is surrounded by stinging nettles which she must use to knit shirts for her brothers. They swarm protectively around her as she shows tremendous goodness, bravery and loyalty in completing her task. Eventually she finishes the 11 shirts that will free her prince brothers from their curse, marries the king and lives happily ever after
