An Illustration For The Poem / Amber's Ode To Jade's First Attempt At Poetry

Copyright 2006 Jade & Amber

Jade wrote a poem yesterday that I was totally bowled over by. I mean, I've never known her to write anything remotely like a poem before and then suddenly one day I'm faced with a really great first attempt by her! Way to go Jade!

I love the message or should I say, the 'heart' of the poem and somehow the first thing I said to Jade after I'd read the poem (and gotten over my intial speechlessless) was 'I'll illustrate this'. So here it is, my ode to Jade's first attempt at a poem. I had a lot of fun doing this. Got to experiment a lot with the software and my style .

Jade said she's happy with it...so maybe I'll get to illustrate her next poem too! ;)

(Yes, Jade I remember what you said...I know it can't be forced, but you really have to do this more often now!)
