Making progress…

Something I’m working on at the moment.

Here’s chapter 11. Almost the same image as chapter 2. 
The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) is having a Postcard Illustration Contest. I created some images for the competition. They are supposed to be kite-themed. Here’s the first one.

My girls and I walking home from HyVee.

I was playing with my big zoom lens a week or so ago and came up with these. Usually there are too many leaves to get pictures of the birds way up there, but it’s spring, so I got some halfway decent shots. And I finally have a camera that’ll let me crop a shot and still have a decent size to do something with it. Yay!
You can’t see it because these are low-res for-the-web versions, but there’s actually enough pixels to print if I wanted to. 🙂
Of course, blackbirds aren’t all that photogenic, but I did what I could from the ground. 🙂


And here’s the end result. I’ll set it aside for a week or so and look at it again once the newness wears off and make any changes it needs. Then I’ll send it off. 🙂

Can you find the hidden objects?
envelope, light bulb, crayon, ruler, book, tennis ball, lollipop, umbrella
