Web Site Updated...

I spent a little time this morning updating my web site. Now back to work!

very sad news...

I just read online that Robert Mercer (of Robert's Snow) lost his fight with cancer this month. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

BOOK 3! Fun with Wheels!

Fun with Wheels! is book 3 of 6 that I illustrated for the toddler curriculm for HighReach Learning. I finally got my copies of all 3 books and I'm so pleased with how they turned out! I only got 3 copies of each and they aren't available for individual sale - yet. I know my family would like to have a copy :)

I CAN! Bright Baby Kit

One of the 12 puppets that I designed for the Bright Baby Kits (HighReach Learning) is now online at their website. (I illustrated what the constructed puppets would look like and then they were actually assembled in China.) The first theme is "I CAN!" and features the Bright Baby Bunny (I called her Emily). Although it doesn't ship until December 2007, I finally get to see what some of the package looks like! So far I have only seen the first 2 puppets. The rest are being produced in China. I also did the package illustrations for each kit. It was an interesting year of learning new things and I was thankful to have a chance! My background in sewing was a help, too :) HRL has a talented Graphic Designer and she did a great job of putting everything together. I also got to work with AWESOME folks at Kid Design! When I have time I'll post some of the illustrations which show puppet construction.

Fun in the Forest - Book 2!

Book #2 is available this month through HighReach Learning (curriculum only). This book is different because it was done in Illustrator. Visit my web site to view the interior pages.

This is the entire cover design (done in-house at HRL)
