My little wellies have finally walked their way onto a website. Little Red Berry has launched, and, as you can see in the gallery, my illustration also appears on all the labels for their liqueurs and cordials. Cheers!

Here are two sample pages from a personal project that I've been developing with my husband and Nicolette Lie, who have been busy writing some haunting little ditties about a girl named Margie. I'm so glad we recently hosted a children's book conference for scbwi in Amsterdam. Well, for many reasons. But one very good reason was that it gave me a great impetus to work on this passion project and develop it in pencil, which is a medium that really carries the story well. Methinks I will carry on with the pencils, possibly with some hints of sepia added later on. And just a spot color or two. But only just.
