Flower chains ~ go! We had fun practicing this weave. The kids liked wearing the crown, too. I need a little more practice! The stems on some of our dandelions were a little fat and hard to work with, but this was definitely a fun project. I'd love to see yours! Did this technique work for you? We cheated a couple times a just tied knots hahaha • ~link to this book in my bio~ • #childrensbook #picturebook #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #guidebook #howtoflowercrown #grimoire #witchcraftforkids #gardenwitchcraft #flowercrowns #dandelions #wildflowers #floweridentification #witchybooksforkids #flowerweaving #flowerchain #encourageoutdoorplay #encouragereading #indieauthorillustrator #funwithmama #playoutside #ThePlaygroundCovensGuidebook #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CPA_S7rFKSC/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's humid today and the kids had me up most of the night, so energy is low. It's a great day to write! Today's project is a silly Christmas screenplay. The other night I made a bit more progress on my next book, 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔. In this illustration Bones finds her hips! I placed another big order of all my books for the local book shop and they're on their way. In the meantime you can find them all on Amazon via the ʟɪɴᴋ ɪɴ ᴍʏ ʙɪᴏ. • #writing #writer #authorillustrator #screenplay #wip #wips #pencilsketches #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #writingscreenplays #christmasmovies #halloweenbooksforkids #witchybooksforkids #dragonbooks #piratebooksforkids #gnomebooks #ThePlaygroundCovensGuidebook #PiperthePeppermintDragon #CaptainScraggleBeard #PorterRunsAway #Ghost_and_Bones #elysedeneigebooks #somanyprojectssolittletime https://www.instagram.com/p/CPLez7-Fwmf/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's finally wildflower season! My yard is all dandelions and violets and sweet william 🌸🌼🏵️ Not all the flowers in the guidebook are blooming yet, but we were able to try weaving some dandelions over the weekend. I'll show tomorrow how it turned out. You can pick up your own copy of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒏'𝒔 𝑮𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌 and starting identifying and weaving the flowers in your yard, too! • #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensbook #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #wildflowers #floweridentification #dandelions #guidebook #flowercrown #howtoflowercrown #grimoire #witchybooksforkids #wildernessbook #booklaunch #witchcraftforkids #encourageoutdoorplay #encouragereading #elysedeneigebooks #ThePlaygroundCovensGuidebook https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-cL-4FjQk/?igshid=cj7eclta802g

Starting thumbnail sketches for the cover art for 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒏'𝒔 𝑮𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌. Kid-friendly spins on classic grimoire and spellbook designs.
