I’m currently writing and illustrating my first children’s book, called Carmelita’s Colors of Christmas. In it, Carmelita (the orange cow in the photos, she got her name because her nose is shaped like a caramel) shares with the reader how she celebrates the Christmas season with her farm friends. Here are working photos of the “white” scene which will feature these characters sledding down a hill. Watch for updates as I work through all the colors/scenes!

Preparing for the brown/cooking scene: Carmelita and her baking pal will soon be fixing up treats for their friends!

Reshooting the white/sledding scene: Shooting the piglets one at a time!

Setting up the Black/Nighttime scene: Carmelita dreams of Christmas morning magic!

Creating my book one stitch at a time! This is the scarf Carmelita will be wearing on the cover of my book, Carmelita’s Colors of Christmas!
