Last week I finished the illustrations for a gardening book. It was kind of a funny project for me for a couple reasons: First of all, gardening does NOT come naturally to me. I love to do it, I try year after year, but with very little success. Luckily it does come naturally to my mom, she always saves the day. Second, I never imagined my first book having pictures of hula hoes and dandelion diggers, not that I mind, I just imagined drawing something like fire breathing dragons and clifftop castles. I'm not sure when it will be available for purchase, but I will be sure to post that info. Here are a few of my illustrations.

I am excited to get a copy of the book for myself.
I know there is so much I can learn!
We are going to have a bumper crop of pears this year! (I have managed to keep the trees alive)
Sorry I've been hibernating for a while, I was hoping the sunshine and warmth would coax me out of this little hole I've found myself in. Not yet, but I'll climb out soon.
Have a happy week!

how awesome star! i hope you'll post more pictures when you get your copy! you are so famous!
This is SO COOL! Congratulations. I need to buy that book because I don't know anything about gardening. (shhhh - don't tell my dad)
That is so cool!! Love your illustrations!
That is so great, Star! Did you write the book, too? I had no idea you were up to such shenanigans.
Thanks guys! No I didn't write it, I think all my gardening knowledge would take up a post-it note.
It was written by the famous and ever so wonderful Karen Bastow.
Star, there is something really beautiful in your illustration of pruning tools. I like it lots. Looks like your talent is being put to good use!
