THIS means the book – everything to do with painting – is COMPLETED! I have been working on the back of the book, the acknowledgement page, title page and dedication. I have not seen this cleaned up painting table for almost 2 years! Quite stained, I see.

Things are moving along, the endorsements also. Things just present themselves!! I should stop working things out with my mind and just surrender!

Next will be to make a mock-up of the book to see how it will actually look, sort of, and to have around for when previews are needed!

I’m looking for suggestions of author/illustrators that might be willing to give Little Star Lost and endorsement (a little sentence on the back of the book.) I am looking for authors that have written beautiful books, and more importantly, that there is a little bit of spiritual content in the book – so it is not dealing only with this physical life. Of course, the author should be well-known, relatively! If anything comes to mind for you, please let me know. Return to Home for comment section. I would love to hear from you!

I have only been able to come up with Barbara Helen Berger, this from my children’s childhood. Seems like Grandfather Twilight is missing from my collection.

So I have asked her!

O happy day and gratitude abounding! The main body of Little Star Lost is done! Many of the illustrations are unpublished – all I can really show right now is the whole book laid out on the dining room table! My camera and camera work does not do it justice, but that’s the best I have at the moment, until the photographer and graphics person lays it all out.

I’m now switching my hat to being the publisher, and I am working on getting endorsements, and finishing the more technical pages – like Dedication and Acknowledgements, etc.

After the previous sad and crying picture, I am so enchanted to see Little Star come to a new place, both inside and outside himself. The forest helped him – I think it’s called ‘forest bathing’ now! But whatever you call it, the forest has a healing power, and that is  an ancient phenomenon. Don’t forget the Amazing Flash Christmas Sale is still on for a few days, until Dec. 10  – The Star Children, $18 CAD, and free shipping in North America. A wonderful deal! The Star Children sets the stage for Little Star Lost and connects to it in a beautiful way. Check it out in The Books section.

This is so sad – but it will get better for him! I’m skipping some illustrations so the book will have something you have not seen!

Wonderful time and great connections made at the Kelowna Waldorf School Children’s Christmas Faire! Thanks everybody.

 

 

I hope to see you at Lakeside Independent School on Sunday, Nov. 25,

429 Collett Rd. in Kelowna.

Below is a picture from a similar faire held last year at the Waldorf School in Nelson.

Books, posters, stuffies and star babies and free bookmarks!

 

I’m so happy that the book marks and books have arrived at Banyen Books & Sound in Vancouver despite the rotating postal strike! They will arrive at Spiritwood in Nakusp and Bookland in Vernon on Saturday Nov. 24, (delivered as I am on my way to the Children’s Faire in Kelowna.) Locally you will find bookmarks and books at Gaia Rising and Through the Looking Glass in Nelson, Spinning Fables and Gaia Tree in Winlaw, and Raven’s Nest in New Denver.

Check for stores near you, or you can always contact through the website if you would like something lovely and free! (Contact is under ABOUT).

The Star Children will be at the Faire in Kelowna at 429 Collett Rd, Sunday, from 10 am to 3 pm. On offer will be the beautiful books, some posters of the favourite illustrations, sweet dolls and little stuffies. Please drop by! I would love to meet you!
