Last illustration complete!

I am happy to announce that I have made the last painting for mamma's fairytale book.  It was great to have my sister Irma come over and help me decide which image would be best for the front cover.

I am just awaiting an edited Italian text from my eldest sister Germana which hopefully will be here by Tuesday...I am beginning to feel rather excited!!  

Find attached another illustration for the book - the children climbing the beanstalk to pick beans higher up till they reach the clouds...

THE GOOD SORT

I also run a small business called "The Good Sort"= making books to help children understand time and the order of their day whilst at kindergarten or day care.  My most recent new branch of this business-let is making song cards with the title of the song and a little image beside it.  Children begin to associate the image with the song and by having the text there, it helps them understand that print means something.  In time children can recognize letters and this helps with literacy learning and song selection too!  

I will  attach a sample of one of the drawings for home time

Le tre favette -The three broad beans, an Italian fairytale

Almost nearing completion is a project I have wanted to do for many many years.  I am excited to say that I have completed all illustrations and am just awaiting help with editing some of the text.

Here is a sample of one of the illustrations in the book.  I hope you like it.  I've used pen and inks on watercolor paper. Scroll down and see the image below...sorry it's not the right orientation but could not quite work out how to turn the image!!!
