The Starlights live in a matchbox.
The Starlight matchbox on the top shelf of the kitchen cupboard.
Starlights are all starstruck matches and once upon a time the Starlight troupe were a family of dazzling stars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Starlight matchbox is now nearly empty. Only a really old grandma and grandpa still live in the matchbox, with four dozy uncles, two bad tempered sisters and their step sister Lucy Star.
Lucy is very shy and blushes a lot especially when her two angry step sisters, Lucinda and Lucretia, get bad tempered with her. Then Lucy begins to blush and the angry sisters get even more angry with her!
Page 9
‘Look’, shrieks Lucinda to Lucretia, as Lucy begins to blush once more, ‘she’s going all red again!’
‘Stop it!’ screams Lucretia, as Lucy’s cheeks get hotter and hotter.
‘You’re fiery red!’ They both shriek. ‘You’re going to set us all on fire!’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chapter two following very soon…(Hoofdstuk twee komt er snel aan…)<\/em><\/h4>\n

The drawings for ‘Lucy Star’ are the original rough, mostly black and white, sketches that I drew a few years back for the three Lucky Lucifer Matches dummy books, scanned and coloured-in on the computer with Photoshop tools.
\nThey are not the definite illustrations.<\/p>\n

I chose to use this method for my stories, here on my weblog, to learn more about all the brushes, tools, paints and colouring palettes available in Photoshop, but at the same time to work on and to keep as close as possible to my original sketches.<\/p>\n

All my illustrations and stories on the It’s Another Day weblog<\/em> are \u00a92014 Linda Lee.
