illustrations. Working like mad to get those 5 finished for the
Bologna Book Fair when it hit me the day before Thanksgiving.
If I rush through these illustrations I will screw up and hate them.
I had transferred each one onto watercolor paper and they were
ready to go...but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I really want
to wait until I have time to commit. These will be great for the
picture book workshop I am taking in late January.
I'm also busy exploring other things right now...listed a couple
elf dolls and a painting on Etsy.

My nieces are asking for American Girl doll PJ's for Christmas.
I know I will be busy with making several gifts and preparing for
Christmas for the next few weeks so I will not be posting regularly
until after the holidays. I hope you all have a very happy holiday
season. Here are a few gift tags I did to wish you well. (My daughter
penciled in the to and from!)
I used brown India ink and watercolor for vintage looking tags.
You may have seen the girl illustration before. Last year I painted
her with watercolor and outlined with a Sharpie. Happier with
this look. These were very fun to do.
(If you want to make some special tags check out your local office
supply store first-less expensive than at art supply companies.)
Oh and I almost forgot...this sweet paper cat doll.
