TINY

This image is from our book, Aesops Refabled, and is the image for the Lion and the Mouse, a good example of the strength of the 'tiny' mouse helping the trapped lion escape.

Wheel

Although there are so many kinds of wheel, somehow right now what came to mind was 'big wheel'.

Prince

For this week's word, 'Prince', it had to be Purple Rain

Smoke

Somehow, I thought of holy smoke, and this is how it looks!

Wood

For the word of the week 'wood', I remembered this saying from my childhood - you were supposed to say it really fast.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood!

Sparkle

I immediately thought of the sparklers we had as kids for the word 'sparkle'. Then I thought how even more 'sparkling' it would be to have a bird magically fly out of the sparkler.

Wisdom

I checked in with Illustration Friday and saw 'Wisdom' as the word for the week. Though not really conceptual in the illustration sense, this painting is of Wisdom the albatross, a wild female Laysan albatross and the oldest confirmed wild bird in the world. I would think that makes her a very wise creature indeed.
