The numbers/letters mean nothing; they simply keep me from getting confused while assembling each section. I used this pattern mostly for the sky, fitting it with the actual glass as opposed to the original Beast pattern. How many pieces are in the pattern in total? I have no idea. Someone is welcome to count them if they’re bored. http://kakleckyillustration.com/blog/2025/10/15/gcb-process-part-ii-d748s monthly 0.5 2025-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/4dd4d53b-a678-4752-a61e-eadc25e41581/gcb_wip.jpg Blog - GCB Process Part II - Make it stand out Halfway there (old head)!

While I’d worked out most of the Beast’s pose, I was unsure what their tail might look like (I tried a seal-tail here, but ultimately decided against it). Here I also tried out the “perspective trees” idea, thinking the rigid evergreen lines might provide good contrast to the flowing sky/Beast, but it ended up being too busy and confusing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/27ee731c-94bd-4461-afec-d6342e3517e3/Screen+Shot+2025-06-10+at+3.32.43+PM.png Blog -

This is a really fun part of the process because you get to explore lots of different looks and styles for your character(s). Nothing has to look pretty (and often doesn't), as long as you can get your ideas across. I'll generally spend a day or two doing nothing but sketch, just trying to get as many ideas as I can down on paper. You can revise later! Right now, just get it all down on paper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1428117672287-JB1AA1KB0JWUWELYYT75/sketches Blog - Fuzzy Buzzy   Since I think primarily in color, I decided to do some watercolor sketches as well. As you can tell, not all ideas made it into the final book. The important thing at this stage is just to have fun playing with all the possibilities! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1428117882431-7DYWL92GZ64I6G0OT406/process Blog - Fuzzy Buzzy From there, I began storyboarding the book. While it might seem intimidating at first, storyboarding is a great way to see the book laid out all together so that you can better control the flow of its illustrations and color palettes. Once the storyboards have been approved, it's time to start in on the individual pages! Most of the pages in Fuzzy Buzzy are two-page spreads because I wanted to really give the reader a feeling that they were looking out over a vast field of wildflowers. Before I ever set brush to paper, though, I created digital comprehensives (or comps) for each page, to get everything laid out and make sure that my values and colors made sense and matched the author's idea of the story. Also, watercolors are incredibly difficult if not impossible to edit later on, so I needed to be sure that everything looked a-okay before I began! Then, much sketching, inking, and painting later, we arrive at the final painting. This painting is then scanned in and cleaned up digitally so that it's ready for formatting! And there you have it: illustrating children's books in a nutshell.   Want to learn more or have specific questions about the book?

I've also enjoyed getting to break out my favorite wearable pinks from Chanel: at the moment, Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in Candeur and Coco Mademoiselle parfum (my top pick as far as perfume goes). So I figured, why not experiment with some quick sketches? There is something so effortlessly chic and feminine about light pinks, I think. http://kakleckyillustration.com/blog/2015/3/5/disney-themed monthly 0.5 2015-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1425617934130-ZYYA9NW45JSG57SLXC9T/springelsa Blog -

I imagine them living happily ever after in the wilds, his armor rusted and overgrown as it guards their garden. New life grows from old: animals and birds make homes in rusted plate, briars grow through a battered visor, and numerous species of rampion (rapunzel) grow over greaves. The armor roots into the land as the family learns to grow with the wilderness, sustained and uplifted by what once imprisoned them. The armor is based on a set of 16th c. German armor by Kunz Lochner, with subtle narrative engravings throughout.

I imagine Great Celestial Beasts as the darkness between stars, creatures of liminality and transformation. As such, I imagine they appear a bit differently to everyone. Unlit, the window is nearly black, with the Beast hidden in the solder lines, who then comes to life with color in sunlight. This Beast appeared to me as I struggled with advancements in my degenerative disability. When it felt my life and abilities shattered, I used the shards to create new stories: of transformation, movement, and magic hidden all around me. I needed a sky with teeth, a fierce guardian to remind me of the great beauty and strength found in the dark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1740167406690-ML81DLQEVK2PQ09A4GBC/GCB-01-protected-intensity-HIGH-V2.jpg Stained Glass - Great Celestial Beast (Lit) Great Celestial Beast, 38×27.5”, stained glass, 2024.

Created for Nora Shalaway Carpenter’s anthology Spinning Toward the Sun, published by Burlwood Books, 2025. This stained glass piece will be auctioned off, with all proceeds benefiting BeLoved Asheville and World Central Kitchen, both of whom have done so much to care for WNC (Western North Carolina) after Hurricane Helene. For this piece, I combined fiery sunrise colors representing the strength and resilience of WNC with rich, textured hues showing the diversity of our mountain community. Opalescent rivers collect light as they flow through the mountains, gathering into a great pool of light to be shared by all. Movement swirls through the glass, symbolic of our work rebuilding, healing, and moving forward together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1740169618674-5QQQPLD8VXM57O5SP4FL/gcb_detail1.jpg Stained Glass - Great Celestial Beast Detail Detail shot of the “Great Celestial Beast” stained glass window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1740169620464-269C8Q8YUAW2UX78EHLS/gcb_detail3.jpg Stained Glass - Great Celestial Beast Detail Detail shot of the “Great Celestial Beast” stained glass window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1774903542399-YO3KOOV8O97CO7N9KWLW/Mountain+Glass.jpg Stained Glass - Hamnøya Suncatcher 14” circle, stained glass, 2025. http://kakleckyillustration.com/home daily 0.75 2016-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1423107944758-SH8YX608C7ELHML325VG/ronan.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1456354351153-TTZA9DD1R9ZQITL2BWMB/eveningwaltz Home http://kakleckyillustration.com/about daily 0.75 2015-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1423103455239-EGQ1IFBT2EURETFO3P8U/photo.jpeg About http://kakleckyillustration.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2025-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1456418812462-2DCOK1N11OIZ5YORZD7N/email.png Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1487615899699-QW81SP3FZNM78AVE610I/contact Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1487616825640-R2CVYRI0AN4CZYGYO46S/etsy_blu.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1487616653740-2DT14IA8PCUAGK7Y1F11/tumblricon Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1487616667443-13O9L4X3G9Q4EONOUJ4H/Screen+Shot+2015-02-09+at+11.11.38+AM.png Contact http://kakleckyillustration.com/about-2 daily 0.75 2022-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/1487614696277-NAFRGO4MBDLDK8KW5BSR/norge About http://kakleckyillustration.com/books daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/9482c5d0-99f5-4a86-9fa1-a2c1143d2349/notefromtheforest.jpg Books - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/64707157-c250-40b8-b732-e5639819428f/Screen+Shot+2026-01-14+at+6.48.54+PM.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/bfb81279-4f43-4aca-ab8c-9db05ddda475/spinning_jacket.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d2486de4b074a20216a25c/e6cd75c6-92cc-4008-982c-44e56080e18b/moongarden_text.jpg Books http://kakleckyillustration.com/store daily 0.75 2023-11-28
