When I find these treasures it reminds me of being a kid. I will use a book with such enthusiasm and excitement when it is new. Then I tire of that book and go in search of a new one. I will come back to a book from time to time. It never holds that same magic as when first discovered.
My newest treasure is "Insects" it is a text book by Golden from 1960. The line drawings are great. I have a love of bugs, beetles, spiders etc... Anyone else crazy about bugs?

I'm certainly not crazy about them in real life, but illustrations of them are lovely! :)
Hey Jodi,
Thx for stoppin' by our blog! Glad you like the pics of our little pug Miss Skippy Wu! She is a sweetie. Your art is beautiful! Very creative!
Have a fun day!
Joan & Skippy
I even like the real ones! The only bugs I don't like are... mosquitos, horse flies, and ticks. They have all caused me huge problems from time to time. When my son was little we used to spend hours collecting rolly-pollies, fire flies, and cicadas. We have photos somewhere of cicadas driving hot wheels.
OOH! I love bugs. These old illustrations look so awesome under glass.
glad you are creating again...
