The "Twins" discover snow.
I won't be finishing any other items from the dummy before I send it out. I have two finishes and the cover plus the inside sketches. That is normally enough. The text is also added inside the dummy. There is space below the cubs on this page for the two or three sentences for this page. The ms goes with the dummy book, a resume, and a cover sheet. If the publisher states that they do answer queries or submissions I enclose a business size envelope, stamped and addressed to me. If not, I have to be aware that they may not answer and simply recycle the whole submission. That is the best reason for only finishing one or two illustrations, and sending only copies of the work.

Have a nice weekend!
You always have such pertinent information Ginger!
These cubbies are awfully cute!
Oooooh, Ginger! I love this illustration..those twins are so beautifully illustrated and the snow is just perfect. It's always so great to see what you've been up to...such great work!
Thank you all! This is an illustration from a book I am submitting for a grant in aid, but will ultimately submit as a dummy to a few select publishers. I never know how far that will go, but I like this story and am having a great deal of fun with the illustrations.
