I have finished my book for the Sketchbook Project - yeah! The postmark date was today, but there has been an extension to January 18 - still just in the nick of time.
What started as a fairly flat Moleskin journal is now about 2.5 inches thick. These final pages are a bit blurry on the edges because of this - despite my best efforts to hold it flat.
Here is what I did for the cover (and yes there is a bingo card underneath the paint and ink):
My theme (loosely interpreted) was "A Day in the Life). Because there are 42 spreads in this book I called it "42 days". The Art House Co-op people who are organizing this project recommend no 3D objects on the cover because the books will be handled so much in transport and hopefully people looking at them! I thought my colour choice might get people interested in my book...
This is the last page in the book. I left the back inside cover (and front) blank, because I think they are putting some sort of library card system in place.
This was such a fun project. I'll be a bit sad to see the book go, but I am looking forward to hearing if anyone looks at it! They will be e-mailing the participants whenever their book is checked out.
