Hi folks, Happy Saturday!
    It's been an awesome spring like day here in Ohio.
Had a hard time staying inside to work on this project,
but once I sat down I really had fun with the story.
    Illustrating is so different from textile design.  I have
to think so much more about every aspect of the work.
(Textile design requires thought also, but once the sketch is
done it is more technical for me than anything.)
    Like setting up a scene in a film, lighting, color, characters,
and objects, are all so important.  A lot of thought goes into
each illustration in children's books.  Perspective plays a
huge role also, as scenes can truly make the viewer a part
of the world of the book.
    So with no more hub bub...here are four more panels
from Balloon Therapy.
   Tune in next week for four more!  Cheers!  Rachel CB
