(May or may not be the final epilogue). (In fact you should see the amount of artwork-x-FINAL-2c.jpg type files I hav on my machine).
(But: onwards).
Big Book Draw was lovely in so many places, not least of which going through the kids artwork to pull it together into a story. It was a doozy of a day - although as soon as it's finished I'm always so tired I fail to see the lovely parts because of all of the problem fixing on the day... But it was ace and a little distance softens the smudges.
This is one fortieth of the result. Sadly WAY too many people to do a book each - they're a little fiddly to do and take about an hour and a half each to pull together. But they look LOVELY so I want to do some sort of showing of them later. In the meantime one will go to each of the sponsors, helpers and fish doodlers and that's probably - time wise - going to be as many as I can manage. I can't wait to take a photo of all of them lined up before posting though :) I think that'll look fantata.
Already got the story for the next Book Draw bouncing around my head as well as an interim project aimed more at teens. We'll see how each progress (and I've passed the ideas onto someone else to see what they think... We'll see would be lovely to get some sort of distribution in a way but all bridges to be vaulted).
So: here's the Big Book in some of its finery. The story is a few posts down if you want to see the journey of it from start to finish. If time allows I'll do a website of the whole thing but that won't be for a while I think.
((the last one is a size comparision. I do have a smaller copy - about 3/4s of the size but this ones fiddly enough to make I think...))
(((Also: obvious joke ahoy. At 40 copies this now becomes one of my highest print run books! Badoom TISH))).
