Corlored version of “Dare To Soar.” I couldn’t decide which way I like this better, so I posted them both. Maybe you guys can help me choose …..
One day while I was in the waiting room of a doctor’s office, I picked up a magazine and read an interesting piece about how a certain beetle came to be known as a ladybug. According to this account, European farmers in ages past were wrestling with crop failure when they took their problem to the Lord. Asking the Blessed Mother to intercede for their needs, they prayed a novena (nine days of prayer) for a reversal in what was certain to be complete financial loss for that growing season. Amazingly, at the end of the novena, they noticed some strange little beetles they’d never seen before. Red with black spots, the bugs converged in large numbers and even more amazing, the crops started to prosper once again. What the farmers didn’t know was the fact that aphids had been eating their crops, and ladybugs, their natural enemies, were now eating them. Having no name for their little plant soldiers, they called them “Our Lady’s Bugs” in honor of the Blessed Virgin whose intercession they had sought and received with overwhelming success. Eventually, the name was shortened from Our Lady’s Bugs to Ladybugs, and this little image is offered in honor of the farmer’s friend, this tiny champ which still saves the day in the fields where our food grows.
This took two whole days of almost non-stop work, but I loved it! A group picture of all the main characters from my many stories done on A3, a slight pain to scan XD Medium – bog standard colouring pencils, HB pencil, and a black gel pen. I should really spend less time drawing them and more time writing, hehe. On last count, there’re 48 characters here.

unless I do something different, it will always be the same. / . / Here is something graphic. / . / simple. / . / Now for O’s story. Well this is of course, “O Yes”. Officially. Everyone calls it ‘O Yeah’. ‘O Yes’ is for documents but doesn’t actually answer to it. Even teachers at school use it. / . / Ally Mc Beal references everyone having a songs, a tune you get your groove to. O Yeah listens to Ska music of course, rides a moped and has tattoos like you wouldn’t believe / . / I know, I know, it’s so clean and undecorated here. roll up it’s sleeves, and there has been loads of work done. that’s why I like O. Business and brains by day, rock n roll singer by night. / . / I’ve gone to see them play, actually, and I was surprised. there were loads of wild hairdos; spiked mohawks, piercings and clomping boots: surely I’d get squashed in that rough crowd, me with my new agey kind of sweet home girl clothes- not so. They were welcoming, into dancing and so mellow. I recommend O, and it’s crowd. They are lovely. / . / sunset

I was just staring one day at a set of brightly coloured corkboard pins at my eye level on the cupboard and the idea was born! Inspiration comes from all over the place!
