Happy New Year! Hard to believe it’s 2020! I hope everyone had a fabulous 2019 and an even better year awaits!
I’m sharing the Diggory’s story with you in serial fashion, two pages a day, over a 9 day period.
Writing Translated
PG 13: BAM! Diggory, the gum tree, the thorny bush, the Numbat and Quoll went rolling down the hill.
PG 14: Below, a duckbill platypus was sleeping.
Stay tune for Part 8, tomorrow!
Details Behind the Story
Way back in June, for his July birthday, my hubby asked for a follow-up story to the Diggory Wombat Gets Lost book that I wrote and illustrated for him. Unfortunately, my Muse wasn’t interested so after months of dithering, I wrote and illustrated the book in 4 days!
This book was done in one of Hahnemühle’s ZigZag accordion books. The book is one long sheet, folded into 18 pages. I love working on this paper!
Love it! Watch out below!!!!
Yep! The poor platypus gets a rude awakening!
Sleeping platypus has no idea of what’s to come! Happy New Year, Sandra!
Happy New Year, Kathy! You’re right – the platypus gets a rude awakening!
Cant wait to see what happens
Poor numbat, quoll and platypus! They had no idea how life was gonna change!
Nobody looks very happy in this spread but the snoozing platypus – though he’s about to be rudely woken and I bet his expression will then be of great distress. Poor platy.
You are so right! That poor platypus gets a rude awakening!
