Let's peel back these layers!

juliannlaw Here is a closeup of the endpapers in my debut picture book, THE WORKD’S LONGEST SOCK. I work digitally in Adobe Photoshop but the program doesn’t do it all for me! I knit all the pixels by hand! Haha! I do have things I do to help me work quickly and efficiently, though, like using layers. Here you get to see me take off those layers one by one till we are back at nothing but a background. The World's Longest Sock is now available on  Amazon ,  Barnes and Noble ,  Target , or wherever you  buy books !

YOu are so talented. That is such a tough decision, cause immediately I loved the space one. All the fun colors and all, however the other prints are very unique and stand out to me. I love your color chooses very modern and fresh upcoming, The orange is exciting and bold, yet the blue is safe but still uniquely different. This is so tough. I wish you could submit all four. THEY ARE ALL SO WONDERFUL and I know why you are asking for our opinion. I don't know which one to tell you. I guess I would say what stood out first to me, but then again your designs are so much asymmetrical and random which to me screams unique and talented and say a lot about you as a great designer, cause not everyone could come up with that.

Okay I totally over analyzed this question too long and still I don't have an answer for you. I lOVE THEM ALL.

1. SPACE (LOVE THE BOLD COLORS- WHICH YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF BOLD BOY PRINTS)
2. BLUE BACKGROUND

I love all four Jul! I can totally imagine them in my favorite chic fabric shop. If I must, I'd choose the blue background with the bears.

hospital buddies

Remember Lucy's hospital doll she named Birdie ? Well, we had a service project with the children's group at church a couple weeks ago and made a bunch of dolls just like Birdie to donate to Primary Children's Medical Center. They will go to future patients there and hopefully bring the same amount of love and comfort Birdie brought to Lucy. At our activity, we had 12 kids who stuffed, stitched, hemmed and dressed a total of 34 dolls! Patterns for dolls and robes can be found here: Doll A , Doll B , Robe A , Robe B . Download all four.

if these old walls could speak. . .

. . . they'd tell fantastic stories of medieval court life and dragons and castles! I just saw these fantastic shadow puppets at Kate's Paperie but of course they are sold out! Wouldn't it be fun to make some though? Lucy's into pirates these days. . . I could design a set of pirate shadow puppets. . . add that to the list of projects I would love to do but probably never will. Seriously.
