How beautiful are these classic books designed by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co.? 

I love when publishers do special editions of classic books and of course, I love most of the 

illustrations by Rifle Paper Co... so these books are amazing! I was so excited when my sister 

bought these, because it meant I could take photos of them... Yay!!

(You can buy these books as a set of 4 or individually.)

I watched this amazing video by Oana Befort this morning & instantly felt inspired!! So, I had to share it.
Seeing the process of her beautiful deer & flower watercolor appear right before your eyes is pretty magical! I love to watch the lines go on to the page so smoothly & to see the colors fill in the illustration. The way she does this makes it look so easy... even though I know it's not!! I love all of her work! She is a very talented artist!
