With all the snow piled up out there blocking the sun from my poor plants, it's hard to believe yesterday was the first day of spring. But here it is! Which means it's time to start thinking about gardens, and for me that means thinking about garden gnomes like my pal, Porter. You can get a paperback and take a springtime adventure of your own with Porter through the link in my bio. • #porterrunsaway #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #gnomebook #gardengnomes #cutegnome #porterthegnome #elysedeneigebooks #springreadinglist #giftideasforkids #eastergiftideas #givebooks #readtogether https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDY0WFur-e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Second spread illustration is underway. Crispin knits! This is one creative hobby I've yet to pick up, but I do enough other fiber crafts that I'm sure I will some day. • #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #wip #workinprogress #watercolorist #watercolor #elysedeneigeart #crispinthecandycorndragon #candycorn #knitting #dragonoc #dragonbook #dragon #autumnchildrensbooks #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CnwugyQuhqS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More progress with Crispin. I feel like either his walls or his couch should have a little pattern, but I haven't decided which yet. What do you think? Wallpaper pattern? 🧱 or Fun patterned upholstery? 🛋️🌸 • #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #wip #workinprogress #watercolorist #watercolor #elysedeneigeart #crispinthecandycorndragon #candycorn #knitting #dragonoc #dragonbook #dragon #autumnchildrensbooks #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzSWhCOK1e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Always ready for sweater weather • Super happy with how this wallpaper pattern came out. I also gave the couch a cozy corduroy texture. I wanna have tea with Crispin, don't you? This one will need to be scanned early to play with text overlay so I can determine if everything will fit as is or if I need to play with the window area more. Sometimes I get carried away with a beautiful illustration and forget I need to save room for the words! • #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #wip #workinprogress #watercolorist #watercolor #elysedeneigeart #wallpaper #cottagecore #cozyspaces #crispinthecandycorndragon #candycorn #knitting #dragonoc #dragonbook #dragon #autumnchildrensbooks #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CoC_RvIrNMP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I haven't had a chance to design a wallpaper yet because some kind of crud came home from the school and now we're all sick (not covid at least), but I did get some yarn colors down. • #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #wip #workinprogress #watercolorist #watercolor #elysedeneigeart #crispinthecandycorndragon #candycorn #knitting #dragonoc #dragonbook #dragon #autumnchildrensbooks #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4qxf6Oto_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First spread of the new book is almost done! I think 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒚 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 will definitely be ready for an autumn launch 🤞🏻 • #wip #workinprogress #watercolorist #watercolor #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #dragonart #dragonbooks #oc #candycorn #elysedeneigebooks #crispinthecandycorndragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZmTBiOqXT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meet Crispin in full color! It's always candy corn season right? Maybe not for everyone, but you can't deny it's iconic with those books colorful stripes. I'll be working on this new story with the hopes of an autumn book launch. Follow along to see Crispin's autumn adventures! • #wip #workinprogress #watercolorist #watercolor #elysedeneigeart #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #dragonbooks #dragonart #candycorn #elysedeneigebooks #crispinthecandycorndragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CnWy40cu_p_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Painting while I wait for the slowest OS update ever. My son keeps asking me when I'm going to make the follow-up to 𝑷𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒆𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏, so here we go—Crispin the Candy Corn Dragon coming hopefully in time for fall! • #wip #workinprogress #watercolorist #watercolor #elysedeneigeart #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #dragonbooks #dragonart #elysedeneigebooks #crispinthecandycorndragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUroxWuaAC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I did another author reading of my book 𝑷𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒆𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 at Rainbow Playschool in Woodstock, VT. I love engaging with kids during storytime! If you shop now you can still get a copy before Christmas! See the link in my story or my bio or search the title on amazon, and be sure to check out my other titles while you're at it. If you have a local bookstore, daycare, library, or school and you want to have an author+illustrator come for storytime let me know! We read together then discuss themes like giving, helping others, and favorite holiday treats, and the kids get to learn about the bookmaking process from a self-published creator. • #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #authorreading #christmasreading #storytime #christmasbooks #christmasstories #dragonbooks #christmasgifting #giftideasforkids #givebooks #givingseason #letsreadtogether #piperthepeppermintdragon #elysedeneigebooks #supportindieauthors #shopindie #christmastraditions #holidaygiving https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmb_qemLgh7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There are a few copies of 𝑷𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒆𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 at @yankeebookshop in Woodstock, and a few of my other titles, too. Support small local businesses and independent artists this giving season with the gift of reading together!

There's a crispness in the air and kids are excited for costumes and candy. If you, like me, want to give them a break from family-friendly Halloween movies and junk TV then this set is for you! Kids will find fun puzzle shapes and even a trick piece as they assemble the puzzle and even beginning readers can enjoy the colorful illustrations as they flip through the story. • #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #spookyfamily #halloweenbooksforkids #halloweengift #classicmonster #cuteghost #cuteskeleton #halloweenpuzzles #bookandpuzzlesets #halloweenfamily #ghoststoriesforkids #Ghost_and_Bones #fathompuzzles #woodenpuzzles #halloweenpicturebook #spookykidsbooks #gothfamilyvalues #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjsnv_QOqhL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had a fun reading of 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 at @bibliophilebookshopmaine today. Thanks to all the kiddos who came out to read and do puzzles with us. We spent the morning at a farm doing the corn maze and choosing pumpkins. Wonderful autumn day! • #authorreading #autumnday ##childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #halloweenbooksforkids #cornmaze #pumpkinpatch #familyfallday #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjd5j9Dul6z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
