Peter Rabbit Cover redesign

Just in time, I have finished my book cover redesign in time for the NESCBWI Poster Showcase competition. I left it pretty late to photograph and edit, but I think it came out OK, I am very pleased. ERrrrrmmm except I realized today that the steps by the door are not upright. Perhaps it contributes to the 'realism' of the miniature scene?? Yes... Mr. McGregor has been meaning to fix those....
Finished!

determining layout. whoops got lazy with the shingle staining, but that stuff smells awful
grass laid, gravel sheets in place, balsa wood raised beds



filling with 'soil'



Too nasty to drink (sorry, I am a snob when it comes to coffee and this stuff is GROSS!)
vegetables planted

moss on house, gravel on path

looking pretty weird, Peter

Stranger looking still as the 'flocking' process begins. Wish I had more pictures of this, but I was busy freaking out.

New Teeny Tiny People Occasion Cards

At long last, I have finally finished editing my new set of occasion cards, 39 in total. Not sure which of these will end up on the shelves (currently under consideration) but here they are.

They were a joy to produce, but I am also glad to close the file on this project.. I was starting to go a little loopy, talking to the dolls et cetera.

The captions are in the preliminary stage, so I am still a little unsure about some of them. I might need a few days apart to re-evaluate. Hurrah!
