This is it. Final version. Now I am happy and off to the framer.

Decided that the previous print didn't quite work so I have re-worked it and I like this a lot more though not totally convinced, yet.

A new screen print of an old design.

I am really delighted to have been asked to join this group of five other children's book illustrators for an exhibition at Merriefield in Kent. The exhibition runs from 24th November - 10th December so please pop in if you are in the area. I am currently working on some Owl and the Pussycat Go on an Adventure screen prints so I had better move away from the computer and get on with them as time is flying.

Finally back to work so I spent my precious few hours dedicated to illustration per week making a cover for my teaching diary. Perhaps not the best use of my time but I think I needed a bit of mindless doodle. In fact I enjoyed it so much I might do a back cover as well.

I have started making some little origami books as an introductory project for my new teaching post. These are my first efforts, I think I need to practise the hardback binding a bit more before I attempt to show nine year olds how to do it! I think it will be a lovely project though and will help me get to know a bit about the children right from the start. I'm looking forward to it.
