The work of Abigail Halpin is just so dreamy, don’t you think? This illy, which I discovered from my flickr contacts (you really should make me a contact), is based on a character from the book I Capture the Castle, which Abigail just finished reading. I’ve never read that book before, but I jsut may have to now. It’s by Dodie Smith who is probably best known for writing The Hundred and One Dalmatians. I just love that the idea of drawing your favorite characters and wish I was a talented enough artist to do so.
Btw, I can’t wait to share Abigail’s Feed Your Soul contribution with you later in May!
Her illustrations are fabulous. So sweet and wistful. I’m in love!
I just finished that book last week!! Loved it, truly! I’ve never seen the movie, but the book is adorable.
I will be reading the book for sure and I already added the movie to my netflix queue!
Definitely read the book. It’s lovely and I can also tell you it stands up very well to re-reading, too 🙂
soft, tender and romantic, but with something special in the eyes – makes me want to read the book. Wonderful idea, love AnnLuise
I love both the book I Capture the Castle and the movie. Just wonderful.

what a great inspiration for creating! definitely sparked my interest about the book to!
I Capture the Castle is one of my guilty pleasure movies, but I haven’t read the book yet either! Super cute, though.
