let me go on and present you those among the illustrations that involve pencil. as a matter of fact, there is not a common thread in techniques used. (i would love to hear from a very good friend of mine and an artistic soul mate concerning that, but not only there is no hope of living long enough to really experience her public comment, i am not allowed to name her either.) the design of every page is what make the book a whole, but i decided to use a variety of approaches in the field of illustration.
some of the illustrations are pieces of coloured paper cut out and glued together (i. e. watermelon). in some, the pencil drawing is scissored out like the above detail, a part of decoration of the page dedicated to the biblical accountof Jesus' triumphal entry, when palm tree branches we used in his honour. for other illustrations coloured pencils were used to add a touch of light or shade.
for the week that dealt with protection of angels, adam wrote about an ex- perience, when two of my siblings, when we were kids saw figures of heav- enly beings. it was a scary encounter with both su- pernatural attackers and protetcors, after which the whole family knelt down to offer a prayer of gratitude, and everybody heard a bang of our iron gate though it was locked. the shining faces of an- gels are depicted feature- less just because of this glow.
learning about kindness and charity, we used several items to symbolize them: a coat for giving away good cloths, a guitar to represent using one's gifts to make somebody happy, a glass of juice as a reminder of the Lord's words about cold water and a spade to help adam thing of deeds of kindnes, working for others.
