Elizabeth Bluemle’s article The Elephant in the Room, posted this week on ShelfTalker, a Publisher’s Weekly blog, offers a spot-on and constructive criticism of the publishing world’s shortcomings when it comes to publishing and promoting books that truly reflect our diverse world, pointing to the need on their part “to cast aside outdated assumptions of what people will or won’t read, will or won’t edit or publish or sell.”
The article offers suggestions of what those in the publishing field can do to start reverting the situation and doing right by our children, plus a list of blogs and websites (we were honored to see PaperTigers mentioned!) that promote diversity in children’s and young adult books. The elephant illustrations, by thirteen children’s book artists, combined with the words, give us much to reflect on.

Back to my little yarn pieces. I'm still having fun experimenting with different pencil / paper combinations, as well as working out ideas for what to do with yarn as a subject.
With this one I actually set up a dice tied up with yarn and hung it from my drafting lamp. I wanted to see what the weight of the dice did to the yarn. It pulls the "plys", elongates and stretches them, like I knew it would.
I like how this piece looks like a little page of studies, like you'd find in a sketchbook.
I'm planning a new series of slightly larger yarn pieces, 5 x 7 I think, and maybe some other knitting themed ones.
And ~shock~ I may go back to painting something other than yarn!
Right now I'm working on my entry for the CPSA show. This will be my first year entering, and I'll be thrilled to even get juried in, let alone win anything. That March 31st deadline is closing in fast...
To see all the Yarn pieces in this series side-by-side, please go here. Or visit my ebay store to see which are available for sale.
