Empty egg cartons always cry out to be cut up and Frankensteined. Gave in to my impulse today and came up with THIS!

After I took this short video, I tossed it into recycling.

I love ephemeral art.

I’ve stuck at this job for a long time and there have been ups and downs, but making books still makes me happy. 😊
A thing like this is a lovely surprise. Thanks so much, @scbwi.bsky.social, and all who voted for HAPPY ALL OVER in the Crystal Kite Awards. I feel honoured… and very happy!

There was a mole at the union meeting...I mean a rat. At first no one noticed it. But what came next would shake every fiber of the pipe knitting community. #kidlit #kidlitart #unionstrong

I’m slightly late for World Whale Day 😊 🐋 These incredible creatures, awe-inspiring in life and essential in death, sustaining entire ecosystems for generations. A spread from Welcome to Whalebone Mansion by Laken Slate. #kidlit #kidlitart 🦑
