Fables de la Fontaine. Book in Progress (post 13)
Yay!!! The third illustration is finished!
Each time I finish a new piece for the book I get so excited! It makes me happy seeing these little paper worlds on my table. They’re so real to me.
I love this empty stage. It makes me want to jump into it and do a little dance.
This tiny garden inspires me to create a whole line of fabrics with my designs. I think that I will do something in the future for Spoonflower. The very idea makes me very excited!. Imagine a series of fabrics based on these illustrations. They would look nice with a certain vintage atmosphere. What do you think? Thumbs up to that idea?
It also makes me happy seeing the hare and the tortoise finally together. I think that after all they’re going to become very good friends 
Getting to study The Tortoise and the Hare fable in more depth was really inspiring to me. This book project in general is gaining a very special place in my heart. I only hope that once it becomes available in print it gains a special little place in the heart of children and adults as well. If everything goes as planned the book will be out there for Christmas. Yay!!
I will keep reporting tomorrow!

Fabric: thumbs up, five stars.
A definite thumbs up to your fabric idea!
I’ve been WAITING for you to decide to do some fabric design; I will love that so much!! I love how your third illustration came out. Everyone looks happy, even though lessons are being learned.
Fabulous! Absolutely do some fabric on Spoonflower. I could dress one of my dolls in it!
AMAZING!! I found your project through Flickr & I’m hooked! I can’t wait to see more!
Oh, definite thumbs up here! Another gorgeous illustration- just beautiful…
Yes on the fabric! And I love love love the final illustration. The colors, texture and composition make the “stars”, Mr. Hare and Ms. Tortoise, SHINE!!! <3
PS. I am very curious to know how big these are?
Gina: 32 cm x 24 cm each one.
Me gustan todos los animales que nos has ido presentando estos días, me parece que tienen personalidad propia. Un abrazo, y gracias por la energía que transmites.

They look so adorable together!!!!
One simpler alternative to the designed flower garden is the “wildflower” seed mix, with assortments of seeds which will create a bed that contains flowers of various blooming seasons.

I think the fabric would make such wonderful pillows! I would adorn them with lots and lots of fringes, tassels and trims.
Absolutamente precioso!

There is noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made sure nice points in features also.
I believe tears at a funeral are all those the one who died never got to cry while alive. We finish cleansing their soul when we cry.
