Picturebook Brewing

 There’s a picturebook brewing, the words have assembled, shuffled and assembled again – several times. The pictures are gathering, filling more and more sketch books. Paint has been introduced, and splashed about. 

The scanner has been… well that is where the process has ground to a halt. The scanner was plugged into the laptop, nothing happened. Different cables were tried, troubleshooting tried and failed. Things were turned off and turned on again…

Anyway, while technology is sitting there idle, I’m getting on with the illustrations, so that once the scanner is fixed, or replaced, I will have artwork to scan.

Every book throws up some problems along the way, but the ten books already in my online bookshop are testament to the fact that it can and will be done.  

Double birthday celebrations!

 

Happy Birthday Belle and your book

This week it’s double birthday celebrations!

Not only is it a book birthday, Belle ex Racehorse …just horsing around is 7 years old, it’s also the 21^st birthday of the book’s leading lady! And what did Belle do on her 21^st birthday? She had a lovely day grazing her field and horsing around in the sunshine, then back to her stable for her tea, hay nets and a stud muffin birthday cake. She shared a bit of cake with a stable friend, and dropped some on the dog, but he didn’t mind.

Many Happy Returns of the Day to a very special lady.
