The Sydney Festival has captured my adventurous spirit and taken me to many places over the last week, plays, music, art. I have been out most nights and there is still so much more to see and do. A highlight was the play The Arrival, so poetic and inventive. I have never seen such a great production.

While at home I am finishing the 5th illustration for my children's book. The story I had written last year was shelved until recently. A book-gift about modern illustration encouraged me to make a start on evolving my own Illustration style. I have since rewritten my original draft into prose. Using drawings to capture the essence of these words is so much fun, the process has created many colourful conversations. I am really captivated with being able to illustrate this book. I thought I could share a detail of a drawing I have done for its first page, to show you the style I am developing. I am sure it will find its way into my textile designs as well.
