“Wishing” by Susan Mitchell
This is ”Wishing” created by Susan Mitchell.
Susan is a freelance children’s book illustrator from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She loves to play with fabric, bits and pieces of it to make things. A little fromagerie piece was selected for a showing in Los Angeles, California.
I contacted Susan, recently, to find out how she learned about Robert’s Snow Auction. She told me, “I found out about Robert’s Snow a couple years ago through reading other artists blogs.
Susan was touched by Grace and Robert’s story so she found out how she could participate. In 2005, she painted a snowflake called, “Mice Skating”.
At the time, it meant a lot to Susan to participate as “her mum died ten years ago from cancer”.
The inspiration from for this year’s snowflake came from knowing that Robert was very ill. She was thinking of Grace and Robert, hoping it would make he would make it through. Her snowflake is called “Wishing”- “wishing that Robert would get well and that all this love and hope will make a difference.”
Susan called all the snowflakes from the various artists, “little jewels”. I agree with her when she says, “this is a wonderful was to raise funds for cancer research and I feel very honored to be a part of it.”
I love the hope expression on her little girl. My wish for the auction that love and hope will make a difference and raise enormous amounts of money for cancer research. To view more snowflakes, visit Robert’s Snow.
Happy Reading.

Like Jules, I love the use of a measuring tape/ruler for the hat. I’ve made my wish!

Jone,
Susan’s snowflake is indeed a “little jewel.” In fact, it’s one I’ve had my eye on since I first saw it at the Child at Heart Gallery.

One of the things that has been so much fun about these posts is finding out more about the artist and origin of their ideas for the snowflakes. It is like an extra dimension to the arwork.
This snowflake is absolutely precious.
