Remember the illustrations I did a while back? Well, some of them were accepted for the Big Book of Contemporary Illustrations and I had an e-mail today saying that the 'on-the-shelf' date for the book is going to be sometime in September.
Here are the illustrations that were accepted:
Dragonflies, Alchemist's Cupboard, Red Back Spider, Marilynin Ottawa Orchid
I can't wait to see the finished book. Here's a link to the book entry on Amazon.

On another note, the Chanel-Boho top is finished but it needs washing and blocking... I've started a lovely raglan cardigan in deep red and I am waiting for some fancy threads and yarns to mix in with the mermaid bamboo I dyed to make a mermaid shawl....

... I am also working on an illustration and bought myself some mini canvasses to play with, probably with acrylics. I thought I'd start small (the canvasses are only postcard size). I also got myself some oil pastels to play with.... watch this space. :-) Not that I am bored with painting digitally but sometimes it's nice to have a proper brush and paint in your hand (and not just to paint the walls with).

Merry Christmas
I did promise, and here it is - my 2008 Christmas card.
Of course there's no red, no Santa, no busy little elves, BUT there's a little snow... I just wanted to do something different and decided to do something I really enjoy which is drawing flowers and plants, and what says Christmas more than mistletoe? Well, there's the obligatory Christmas tree and holly, but I prefer mistletoe as the berries look like little moons which are a reminder of the original winter solstice.
There's also some good news. I've finally had confirmation which of my illustrations were accepted for the Big Book of Contemporary Illustration by Martin Dawber. The illustrations are: Dragonflies, Alchemist's Cupboard, Red Back Spider and Marylinin Ottawa orchid. Some of which were on this blog or can be found on my ArtWanted site.The book should be published in Autumn 2009.
For now, thanks to everyone reading my blog and I hope you have a very merry Christmas and 2009 will be a successful and happy year for all of you.
