On and off, I’ve been working on a series of girls with little nuggets of wisdom. Just simple thoughtful messages. As I tinkered with the designs, I’ve come to realize this is a series that will never be finished. I’m not very prolific compared to some and I’m prone to tinker with tiny details for much too long. A teacher once told me that it’s good to keep playing until you’ve gone too far. Then you know that you’ve explored enough. But I think that I often get lost in the deep end…

Regardless, I’m really happy with my little girl characters and since there’s an endless supply of thoughtful messages to illustrate, I’ll add on as time goes by. I’ve actually created 12 so far, which could make a nice 2012 calendar. I think I’ll make myself one for sure…
