A great day today learning from some amazing illustrators:
Judy Horacek ('Where is the Green Sheep?' by Mem Fox)
Serena Geddes (helped illustrate Disney's 'The Lion King')
James Foley ('The Last Viking')
and I got to sit next to Katherine Battersby and chat.
James Foley had a look through my work in progress and was so encouraging.

Mentor Tohby Riddle
This morning I had the invaluable opportunity to have established author/illustrator mentor me with my work on 'The Three Lazy Pigs'. He was such a wealth of ideas and suggestions. I can't wait to tweak the manuscript and get busy putting my dummy book together.

New DSLR Camera
I bought a fantastic new DSLR camera and a trip to the zoo was the perfect place to test it out. I fell in love with the world's smallest monkey species, the pygmy marmoset.

Highly Commended - ASA Mentorship
I have received a highly commended for my picture book 'The Three Lazy Pigs' in the Australian Society of Authors Mentorship program. I'm extra happy as there is only 1 picture book winner and I am the only highly commended so it like coming second!
I will receive 2 hours of time with a well known published author/illustrator. Great prize!

Sharpie Art
Today I decorated this clock using a Sharpie pen. My inspiration came from my husband's love of motorbikes.

How I start
Here are some of the monoprints still drying. These will be cut into little pieces and assembled to make my finished illustrations.
My inspiration was the butterfly paintings my children used to do at playgroup. The lines and textures were so interesting I wanted to used them in collaging papers.
