11. SAIL 🐸⛵️
So my maternity leave is officially over, which means less time for these peachtober illustrations 😭 I’m very grateful to have 4 children’s books waiting for me to work on as soon as I come back to work, I am so excited to dive back into them! And genuinely can’t wait to be able to share them with you all! But it does mean that I will now be very busy… especially with a toddler and a 2 month old! 😂 It’s a good thing that I love what I do, because work never feels like a chore
So with that being said, this illustration is actually an entry from last years peachtober. I hesitated posting it at all, but a huge part of this challenge for me is showing up to my socials more. Since taking a break from Instagram this past year I feel a lot of pressure and self doubts about returning. So I’m hoping by the end of this month I won’t feel so much resistance to sharing my work online again and I will be able to reconnect with my audience and find the joy in it again. You are such a wonderful bunch of people, and have shown me so much warmth and lovely messages about me returning, so I don’t even know what I’m worried about!
Anyways, enjoy this illustration of Bing 🐸 my cheerful froggy character from Wildwood Friends ✨
