Creating Bravely with SCBWI New England in May

This proud lion adorns the announcement of SCBWI New England’s 2014 conference in Springfield, Massachusetts, on 2-4 May. A “Save the Date” postcard just went out to members in the region. Registration will open on 5 February.

That conference has the theme “Create Bravely: Make Your Mark,” hence the lion’s medal and the pencil and paint brush in his mane. I’m scheduled to make my mark there by leading one workshop and handling some other duties.

This fine feline was drawn by artist Denise Ortakales, who normally works in cut-paper sculptures. Check out her website for lots of lovely work.
