The story and the witch’s house are finished, so I’ve now
started making the book for my grandchildren
It’s really fun to finally see the end result of the imagination
that’s been in my head for a long time
I spent three days photographing before I was satisfied with the
29 pictures that go with the story
There’s still a lot you can do with Photoshop
Like making the witch’s house suddenly appear in a dark forest in my garden
— complete with lights behind the windows
My husband is very skilled at that and helps me with it
These photos were taken from the computer screen with my phone,
so they’re not at their best quality
The first five pages are now more or less finished — only 24 to go
In the story, my grandsons play the main roles, and I’ve included things they enjoy
For example, we often sing the Pinocchio song together at the top of our lungs
— and now the witch sings it with her cat
Thanks to the coronavirus lockdown, I finally had the time to
make the witch’s house and all the miniatures
And now my long-time wish to make a children’s book is coming true.
So the coronavirus crisis brought something good after all…
