Book end papers in predominantly yellow, green, and pink. They feature a fairy with her little pet dragon and several butterfly motifs. There is also a pink bookplate that reads βThis book belongs to:β The artistβs name, Deborah Paquette, along with her email address, deborahpaquette@shaw.ca, and her website, www.deborahpaquette.com, are listed. There is also a QR code for the website.
End papers, anyone? #KidLitArtPostcard day is upon us and today I decided to post something a bit different. I am an author/illustrator looking for representation and new projects. You can find my work at: www.deborahpaquette.com #kidlitart #kidlitpostcard #repeatingpattern #kidlit #illustration
