Meet my king and queen

June 30, 2022All the Queen's Crowns, art, booksusanmanzke

My picture book, All the Queen’s Crowns, has two main characters, the king and the queen. The king expresses his love for his queen by giving her a new crown every day. In this illustration from Prayan Animation Studio, we see the young couple without any background.

Digital illustrations come in layers. This does not show any of the things surrounding the characters, but it will when the illustration is finished. Later I will be able to share more of the completed page.

The object of my book is to show different ways of expressing love. Giving too much, as the king does, isn’t always the best, but it does lend itself to humor. Eventually, you’ll see the fun that occurs when the king’s gifts get crazy.

Remember, the book’s title is All the Queen’s Crowns and I hope you’ll tell all your friends about this forthcoming picture book.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A winter project

I walked outside to get yesterday’s mail. It is 37 degrees and windy. The driveway was plowed but now very slippery. Next time I’ll have cleats on my boots.

So came back inside to work on my winter project. I’m cutting up Bob’s old clothes to eventually make a quilt.

I started this last winter so don’t expect a completed quilt soon. More cutting to do.

Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm

Here’s a special handmade gift I received.

If you are looking for something handmade by a Wisconsin artist, I can recommend this. The large flowers are made of wood! Sectionals can be found on sale in Bria Bella.

Check out Bria Bella on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/briabellaco/ and the internet, https://www.briabellaco.com/.

Just thought I’d share this today.

Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.

Seymour Kailhofer’s Greenhouse fall festival

September 11, 2021art, creativity, Familysusanmanzke

Mid-day family came for unplanned fun.

Instead of grilling lunch we went to the Fall Festival at Kailhofer’s Greenhouse and ate there.

While there we were entertained and offered many views of local arts and crafts.
