Rewrites are done, now for the illustrations

Art supplies for work in progress

Playing with colour


Rewrites are done, I think… it’s one of those things that could easily go on and on, the trick is, knowing when to stop. So this week I’ve been playing with paints! Because play is where the magic happens, I’m trying to pin down the characters for the book, but they seem to be having far too much fun jumping around in the paint and filling all available paper, so more paper supplies will soon be needed…
