As is usual on the blog, I did a large number of seasonal entries, each with one or more pictures. This year it seemed to me that the pictures were a particularly festive collection, and they looked lovely in the file where I collected them. So I put them on their own Pinterest page – which is here, and has links to all the individual entries if you want to know what books they illustrated or just to look at the blogposts.
And I thought they also deserved their own entry to mark the end of the festive season. So here they are, from the violets of Advent via church and carol-singing, panto and pinups, mediaeval Xmas, desirable presents, a variety of Santas and some Magi, snowmen, capri pants, some Xmas hats and a mask.
These are such lovely 'photos, Moira! You really chose them well, as ever. It certainly is a festive collection, and I'm glad you put them up on Pinterest, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margot - I find them very cheering to look at, they make me smile, so I hoped they might have the same effect on others.
DeleteMoira, I like the representative pictures that you choose for your reviews. They go well with your posts and also tell their own stories.
ReplyDeleteThank you Prashant, that's nice to hear, it's what I would have hoped for.
DeleteI see you have better luck formatting than me!
ReplyDeleteNo! I wanted it to look much neater than this, but blogger really doesn't like dealing with pictures does it?
DeleteI thought I had a favorite here (the woman in black mask at top) but then went through them and kept finding more I liked. Another favorite is the Gil Elvgren pinup picture.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Tracy, that's lovely to hear, just the reaction I hoped for. I love the pinup (of its time!) and did think it was perfect for the book.
