I'm a silly girl ... I keep forgetting to update my blog.
Did a sample of my 'soft' watercolor art for a book publisher, 2 weeks ago. They are still selecting, but should know in next couple of weeks. Already have a contract to do 8 line art 'cartoon' illustrations by 15th September, and will start on them soon.
Still working on updating my site, but get lost on other things.
This is the sample I did for the children's book publisher. Used previously to illustrate a story in a magazine. Wish me luck! :)

Sometimes things in life get SO exciting that you almost need bricks on your head to stop you from jumping up and down!
The child's book I illustrated 'Inside a Snail's Shell' maybe didn't win child's book of the year 2003 in the EPPIE awards (one of only 5 finalists) ... BUT a hard copy arrived this week in my 'snail' :) mail - it was just SO fabulous to see it in print!
What's more, now it has just been released, there is already one buyer (NO!!!! ... NOT me!!! :) ) - and they want a SIGNED copy - as they consider this book good enough to win the 'Caldicott'!!!
Is it JUST me? Or do others get such great things happening to them?
