Good Morning, have spent most of my spare time this week working on my children's book. Have the start and finish (always good) now need to pull the middle into some sort of order and shape and flow. It all needs pulling together. That's the hard part and I keep being distracted. Earlier in the week this little lady popped up on my ink pot, distracting me and told me that she wanted to go live on my daughters desk. So off she went and I'm told is very happy.
this little girl shhh'd me and told me not to make so much noise as her babies were sleeping.
At that point I decided that it was best to turn out the light and go to bed.
These are not the pictures from my book but the little girl is my main character. She's popping up in my dreams and nearly everytime I put pen to paper...she definitely want's to be heard.
And I'm listening!

She is adorable and the fact that she doesn't speak dog, well that is a great title for a book! Is it?

Charming illustrations. Its wonderful how your characters take on a life of their own and you let yourself to be 'led by them'. What a fabulous way of writing
I'm sure people think us artists are nuts the way our characters demand to be seen and heard! However I feel fortunate that the stories beg to be told!!
Your little girl is precious, and I love that she doesn't speak dog!! Love that humour!
