Here is a photo of one of the spreads I did recently for a group I am in. The directive was to work only in the margins so that the text was still visible. I tried to illustrate the little poem. The book was, A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson, a gem of a book. Some of the other work was gorgeous as well. Now I am scouting for a similar book that I can do the same to...
The above picture illustrates "Happy Thought" which I love... It is, "The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." I love that little piece.
And here are 3 pages that illustrate the same story about a little girl... well, I'll let you go ahead and read for yourselves ;)

These are all WONDERFUL!!!!!
So cute. A lovely way to bring life to old books. I may go charity shopping and do just this.
I really love this. Delicious drawings to accompany great children's poetry.
Thank you gals!
Hi Gena,
The illustrations are beautiful. They are so fairy-like and imaginative. Loved them.
