Go Ahead, Write in Your Book
Glynn gave her a book. Never expecting, I suspect, that she would write in it. Make that, draw in it.
But Karen had been wanting to make a mark in her books.. At least that's how I understand it. (Karen, tell us more about the resource that led you to this... please? :)
Anyway, it is too beautiful not to share. And it seems she is going to do more of this, and I look forward to what comes.

Her artwork with your poems = beauty+++. Illustration, especially in pen and ink or watercolor, adds extra sweetener to the already rich words.
That is so beautifully cool.
that is beautiful. I often draw in my books (although not as expertly!) And I can imagine how your writing inspires someone to express themselves through art.
Really lovely, words and art.
it looks to me like the words and drawings belong together
Stunning. After all, perhaps words are really just swathes of artwork that fall outside the scope of the rainbow. To add these filmy, dreamy sketches makes the reader both an appreciator and a reader. Delish. Like walking through a meadow and eating an apple at the same time :)
If I could draw like that, I expect they would be be put in books, on walls, everywhere. Those are wonderful.
How magical!
And beautiful.
Oh it is beautiful. Beautiful illustrations of beautiful words. I think it works rather well.
Thank you, Laura, for the features and the compliment. I answered your question alongside the second set of photos, posted today.

Everyone, together you have made this day glisten like sunlight on tears of joy. Thanks so much!
To forbid writing in books is like putting up a "Keep Off the Grass" sign.
Well, just in time, here's my RAP:

Lovely. Simply lovely.
So nice. But ... do stick figures count?
They are a perfect fit.
