Ooooh. 'Citing stuff. The book I recently (ish) illustrated arrived at my little home today. It's a great feeling to finally hold it. It's a little book, little but cute. I know I keep on repeating myself, but for those who don't know, it's by Jane Austen. I'll tell you more, and add some photos, in the next post. Right now, I'm so excited I just wanted to share this news with you.
This is one of my favourite drawings. It also graces the cover. This scan isn't so great. In the original you can see every hole that the needle made in the material. Yes, I actually drew every tiny hole. Nothing obsessive about that, I'm sure you'll agree.

Congratulations, my dear! IT has finally arrived. I hope it lives up to your exacting standards. If only Ms Austen would write another book so that you could illustrate that too. Meanwhile there's always Mr D'Arcy. Well done.
Congratulations, Andrea Your drawing is so delightful and beautifully done—every tiny hole. I am looking forward to seeing the entire book.
Excellent, well done, congratulations and thankyou for sharing. Between you and Danny Gregory you both inspired me to draw. Thankyou and well done.
I am a new to your blog and it is so beautiful! I look forward to you sharing the new book. I love the illustration (and yes, I would draw all the little holes too).
That is simply amazing. And if this scan doesn't do it justice then I can't imagine how amazed I'd be looking at the real thing. Beautiful.
This is just beautiful, and I love all the little details. (6 strand embroidery thread, I believe! lol). You must feel terrific - congratulations! nancy
