Thumb Blister!

The 52 Week Illustration Challenge continues! I'm enjoying it so much and my books of pop-ups are growing every week. This is Week 29 'Love' Week 3 'Retro' The inspiration for this was 50s dress pattern covers. i'm not sure it's very successful because it was hurried a bit.This is today's effort. Week 4 'Insect'. My youngest has been enjoying reading Mary Norton's 'The Borrowers'. This is taken from the scene when Arrietty experiences the garden for the first time: "An ant came hurrying in a busy zig-zag. She danced in front of it to tease it and put her foot out. It stared at her, non-plussed..." And here is one of my favourite pictures of my two older girls many years ago when the oldest was about to start school. The younger one would never admit it now but she still watches her older sister very carefully.
