It has been quite some time since I have visited Emily Martin's blog, so this evening I am enjoying some quiet time by drinking tea and reading her posts and gushing over her photographs (they are so handsome and dreamy!) and art works. You may know Emily better as The Black Apple, but she is also the mastermind behind Oddfellow's Orphanage, an illustrated novel for children, which I just discovered all of 5 minutes ago.
Oddfellow's Orphanage - written and illustrated by Emily Martin
I was delighted to find a 'fan art' page dedicated to drawings children have made about Oddfellow's Orphanage and it's characters. Young children's art is one of my most favourite things. Take a peek at the here.
'Portrait with Pet Bat' a painting by Emily Martin
How darling is this painting of a girl and her pet bat? Emily has also included a sweet nonsense rhyme she found in a children's book which mentions bats - be sure to find it on her blog and read it..
