This one was fun! Mom was initially perplexed, but then shouted an exultant, "AHHH!!" and beavered away at her idea...I came near the door to her room where her computer was a couple of times and was warned sternly away, "DON"T LOOK!!! You'll take my idea!" Here is her result...adorable and isn't she an amzing poet? --she added the last line of the poem at the bottom. Oh, and yes, she drew the mice. Makes me wonder where she got her models! Hope they aren't her pets in her new basement "dungeon."
I decided to work on my childrens' book project. About two years ago I started it with a wonderful name that came when Roy and I were out on a drive with our daughter, son-in-law and three oldest grandsons. There was a road sign and the road name just grabbed me as the perfect name for a character. I scribbled it into my little notebook and later drew a prototype and began writing a back story for him and his family. I am not going to divulge more than that, but someday you may see my work on a child's bookshelf. This picture is a first foray into the illustrations past the intial character sketch I drew a few months ago.
