Marian will sit at the table some evenings, hunched over her sketchbook doing something. she strongly discourages peeking and hides her work if she thinks someone might be looking her direction. I have respected her privacy there and it paid off. She was finally ready to show her sketch book, because she was finally done with it. She had filled most of the pages over this past year and only now was she willing to let us see. And it was utterly worth the wait. She is SO detail oriented and had so many fun things to look at. I snuck photos of my favorites so I could share, and the pictures do not do them justice.
She used sparkly gem stickers for the stars and it was pretty cool.
This insect museum was a hoot. Someone commented that it was like a "Far Side" comic. It is!
ALL THOSE FLOWERS! I don't even know how long it took her to draw and color them.
I don't know if she made up the beasties or read something that inspired her to draw them. And the sparkly gem stickers on this one don't photograph well either.
