We have to watch this when we're done!

House of Hubcaps

This is from Page 11, one of Alice's favorite places. I guess if I lived in Arizona the House of Hubcaps would be one of my favored destinations too. Like Rosie, I might add color and repost soon. I did this on the plane so a lot of the hubcaps are only near-circles.

The Unpleasant Feast

I think I like the line drawing better, but also I think the watercolor looks appropriately unappealing. From the scene on page 17

The Quick and the Dead

Mine is like the last one, it is hardcover. I read through chapter 7 so I'm ready whenever!

Bad Luck Wind Been Blowing At My Back

Near the center of the field was a single walnut tree bedded in a crop of limestone which had so far fended it against axe and plowshare. Among these rocks she nosed, in their small labyrinths undulant as a ferret. Odor of walnuts and ground squirrels. But she found nothing.

When she left the rocks, was clear of the overreaching branches of the tree, there grew about her a shadow in the darkness like pooled ink spreading, a soft-hissing feathered sound which ceased even as she half turned, sow unbelieving the immense span of wings cupped downward, turned again, already squalling when the owl struck her back like a falling rock.

I tried to get a good picture of this but it was a little hard. The cat has a shadow over it, although not yet at its head. It also has a some blood splattered around it and a gash, representing things to come.

Postcard

This isn't really one image from the book, but I made it thinking about the old man's house in the moonlight at the beginning of the book, or after cutting another cedar tree on page 138.
