My first U.K. book, and some fabric fun


Well, it's not a book YET...but it's been great to work with
a new editor/publisher from a different zone than North America.

Three of the pics...


I did have a lot of fun drawing the cute little redhead character,
and I had fun with the color pallette as well.

The little cat shows up in a lot of the pictures,
but not in all of them, as you can tell from the following two.


The bunny in the flashlight, competing with
the 'deer in the headlights' look :)

Dunno if bunnies chomp down carrots in the dark...
but what good is artistic license if you don't use it?  :)


And a bird's eyeview to dinner.

I still have one more picture to finish and then...
wait for publication!

Somewhere in between, I did some sewing,
but not enough picture-taking.

So here's the only two things my camera snapped up so far:

A coin purse!  My first!  YAY!


Lined inside with a yummy grren and pink printed material,
all from recycled fabric, of course.


Featuring a cute little blue flower and a juicy purple gem,
also and embroidered scrap with a scattering of
purple sequins all around it.



AND...my very first key fob!


Wool roving in delicious green and pink
on a denim base


plus a lot of found objects


equals a very tactile way to hunt for your keys!

I think I'm gonna keep both things for myself -
I need them!

More later!

Absolutely adore that coin pouch. I like how you're venturing off into different items! Congrats on the UK book.

P.S. I haven't forgotten about featuring you on my blog. I have one last exam left & then I'll be sending you out a short Q&A sometime next week! :)
