The original 1follow me clue is not expected to play any part in solving this image puzzle correct? It was the first puzzle. The 1flamen6 image is like the hundredth puzzle in the series. One should be able to solve it without any other element excepting the painting. The white rabbit was followed, he led people to this last step. I only recently came across this puzzle so I viewed it as a separate challenge.
I assume not, because coinartist has stated that the image is the only thing needed to solve the final step. No outside content should be necessary (which includes the poem that people keep referring to--while it may have inspired her art, it won't somehow serve as a piece of the puzzle).
