So, Susanna Leonard Hill is hosting the 2nd Annual Pretty Much World Famous Illustration Contest for Children’s Illustrators This week. The rules are here.
The contest is to Draw/Paint/Create a children’s picture book illustration (no text required-art only) the topic for which shall be DISCOVERY. Not sure why this poked at me. As you know, I’m a writer.
I dabble with paper quilling and wanted to try … so here is my entry:
Discovery
Anyone else stretch when given a challenge vs. just thinking “oh I should try that?”
For this effort, I tried three new-to-me quilling techniques and shredded my own paper. And, since Hubby wondered WHAT I was doing at the kitchen table … I thought I should post it.

In honor of Punxsutawney Phyllis’ 10th birthday, Author Susanna Leonard Hill announced a Phyllicelebration!
Folks were asked to write a poem or create a video to celebrate the occasion. I chose a video and quilled a #TeamWINTER and #TeamSPRING scene. You must forgive my quilling, as I’m still new and have never created a landscape scene before.
Groundhog Day is almost here and there’s a special event for our favorite groundhog — Punxsutawney Phyllis. This IS her time of year.
Author Susanna Hill, who wrote Punxsutawney Phyllis and April Fool, Phyllis!, is hosting a special fashion show for Phyllis. She needs dolled up before the big day.
Here’s my entry:
Not sure if it’s wise to let you ponder about the style Phyllis is wearing here.
I’ll give you a second. {Tick Tock Tick Tock}
It’s my version of Steampunk Phyllis!
I wasn’t happy with my photograph. The near midnight lighting in my kitchen isn’t too great.
When I heard about Phyllis’s Fun Fashion Show, I promised to put on my crafting cap. Here’s the result, an odd-shaped quilled cap, goggles, and dress! I continue to work on “quilling” something without a pattern.
