Recently I posted that Emma Felt had found a literary/art agent. I have finally finished the two new finished illustrations to go along with my revamped dummy book and it's ready to go out the door. Wish us luck!
(For more about Dummies, here is a great article on yellapallooza.com)
Here is a shot during the "fiddle phase" of one of the two finals. This is the part of the process I dislike the most because the pieces are SO very fiddly and more often than not I was too ambitious with the detail.
But after some fiddling and procrastination (ie: hey let's take pictures for the blog!), it starts to come together. I learn something new with each piece I do. This one, I learned that I really enjoy using muslin as a background.
OH! And I wanted to also show you all a new addition to my collection of timers. Isn't this cute? It actually rings like a phone when time is up.
Emma is darling! You're really motivating me, Roz! Oh, and I envy your cute collection of timers...they really spice up your studio.

Love the phone timer, Rozzie! Just genius! So cute!
Emma is just the sweetest thing. Sigh. And so absorbed into the moment and determined she is. Love it! What a gift you have Roz!!!

Well Miss Rozzie, Emma simply could not be cuter! I love to look and look at your work because there are a lot of little sweet details that really draw you in then surprise you at every turn. (a touch lace here, a sparkly sequin there). Just delightful! I'm quite sure her literary home is just around the corner... And your timers, too fun!

Good luck Roz! The illustration looks great, so many nice details. It reminds me of myself dressing up as a little girl.
