Lady Griselda

Lady Griselda looked at the date
“Good heavens!” she said
“I’m running quite late!”

“The Coveny Sisters have already started!”
So she packed up her tools
and quickly departed.

And just for good measure she mixed up some dust
Then she sprinkled her broom
Chanting “Salem or bust!”

A daughter is a mother’s gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of her self. And mothers are their daughters’ role model, their biological and emotional road map, the arbiter of all their relationships. ~Victoria Secunda

Ruby Gets Color


I thought it might be interesting to show how Ruby went from sketch to finished illustration. This is will be one of the color examples in my book dummy. I’ve got quite a few more pages to go, so…. back to work!

Ruby Rue

These are pages 14 and 15 of my book dummy.  I’m at the half way point, and trying to get it finished by the Houston SCBWI conference on April 9, 2011.

Here Ruby considers a menu change….. to say the least!!
