I made something
I've been wanting to have a really silly contest ever since the Institute of Children's Literature opened their new discussion board. But I wanted to give a prize and I wanted to be able to mail it to the winner without spending the gross national product of Madagascar. So I decided I would make a weee little dolly who loves to write and she could be someone's mascot.
So I did this weekend. She's the prize in a rejection letter in verse contest on the Writer's Retreat http://institutechildrenslit.net/in
Yeah, the graphic is kind of crappy because I scanned her instead of taking a real photo. But I can get scans into my computer in less time and she's so small (two and a half inches) and flat-ish. Her face is embroidered and she has auburn curls, a tiny lace collar and wee purple beads for buttons on her dress. I thought she didn't come out too bad, even if the graphic stinks.
