Ink drawing Tiger Bird Girl

Tiger Bird Girl or woman.  This is Ingrid, from my book, that I'm still trying to make a good cover art for.  Thus, this drawing.  It fits in an 8.5 by 11 inch frame.  It is definitely her - but still a bit too large and too detailed to shrink down to a five by 7 book cover.  She has stripes, and claws, and feathers.. she is a tiger with her claws 'the wrong way in' and a bird that flies to the other side of the stars.

It is for sale in my Etsy shop : Etsy shop MarieMeyer.etsy.com

A green feather

Esme has found a green feather from her craft kit and is playing with the air vents. And then she got it stuck on her head and couldn't find it! HAHA. She has been playing this game for about a half hour tossing it, brushing it, waving it.... watching it flutter with the mysterious air out of the vent. This is another one of those 'little scientist' moments I love to see as she grows -- why does it do this? what is it doing? what else does it do? Now she is having me blow it through the air and doing it herself - then comparing it back to what happens at the vent.


seeing what it does


took her a few seconds to find it
