A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Storybook Watercolors

August 6, 2012

*Alice in Wonderland* watercolor on board, 5″x5″

 

*Tsuruhime* watercolor on board, 5″x5″

 

*Red Riding Hood* watercolor on board, 5″x5″

 

I created these little paintings for an art show, but was weirdly attached to them and didn’t want to sell ’em. They combine my love of all things tiny with the concept of paper dolls.

    Such a neat idea. I love the little frames around them. I’d love to see these as real paper dolls! Or a giant exhibit, where each little vignette is larger in it’s own frame on a giant wall!

When my daughter was a baby, oh, nearly two decade When my daughter was a baby, oh, nearly two decades ago, I read roughly a zillion board books to her. My favorites were Lucy Cousins’ Maisy series, Taro Gomi’s and anything with food. It’s with not a little awe and delight that I am creating my own baby board books these days. I adore my sumo books (I especially love seeing them in libraries), and I’m giddy with anticipation for GOOD NIGHT, NINJAS. Eight more weeks till publication! Preorder link is in bio 😊📘🥷I keep dreaming that these sumo and ninja baby books will become well-thumbed and beloved storytime staples…if you’ve been in the trenches of reading to babes and toddlers, do you have a favorite board book?
