The rush to the finish line!

The first deadline for the fiction project has been and gone and I was really thankful that they extended it because for some reason, it wasn't enough time. I have been working quite hard on this but considering all the stuff I have to deal with, including spending large portions of my weekends looking at homes, some of which are not pleasant and others gorgeous but out of our price range, I haven't had much time to draw the final drawings. The content of the book is done, but the illustrations are still in progress.

Collage, Ink and Glue! Fiction Project continued...

So I have been using a variety of different approaches on my work, initially it was going to be all ink, but all ink and no paint, makes Willow Charcoal a boring girl.

So I am starting to pull the whole book together using little hand written inked information bits, and I have finally gotten round to the cover. With that done, I had better complete the interior before the due date, which was 1 May but they have moved the deadline a bit, so I will see how soon I can get it done!

Here is the latests sneak peak of what I am up to!

Eek! It's arrived! Time to get cracking!

I've been waiting for about a week now for a package from the States.
It's here and it's intimidating~!
It's a project where you need to weave text (of your own making) into a delicious book for people to read when in the library at the Art House Co op. Now, to work like a banshee for the next 2 weeks so I can get it done beautifully and send it back. And somewhere find a scanner to scan all my artwork (since my printer says NO! after the last big earthquake 7.1.)

Here's what the book looks like!

Empty lined pages, at lease 38 of them.

My ideas on paper which will be transfered to the book.
