Charles Kettering is buried really close to me. I know that's morbid, haha, but I live next to Kettering, Ohio where he did most of his work and he still has a huge presence "round these parts".
I saw your question on my blog, and I am never sure if I reply back to someone elses blog or leave a comment on my blog. But the cover will probably be an altered wallpaper book cover because I have one the perfect size! I have a background in stained glass, so I'm thinking that I'll do some kind of mosaic in glass. I am waiting to get an idea of what people are sending to get inspired for the cover. I am so thrilled that you want to be a part of this. And please let me know if I can help out in any way. Also, I really hope Sherwin Williams has lots of books for you, but if not, e-mail me and I'll send you some papers (cause I have a ton!)
I'm adding you to The Artistic Mother's Group today. I am so thrilled that you are joining us.
We will be allowing two weeks for each project. But if you get behind, please don't worry. Just keep working a little each day. The whole point of this group is to develop the habit of doing art each day. It is also so we can encourage one another and be an accountability group. I personally need the accountability part of it. Knowing that others are coming to see what I'm up to is very motivational; otherwise, I may not finish it on my own. Some projects may be easier for you than others and may allow you to catch up. But if you don't, don't get discouraged. Just keep on going. This is a low pressure group. I want everyone to have fun and also enjoy visiting one another.
Each week do a post of your progress as you go through the book. Please either include links to the other participants in your posts each week or keep them posted in your side bar or you can give the link to my blog in each progress post stating that the master list is on my blog that way everyone can click around and visit all of the other participants' blogs and see everyone's progress for encouragement, inspiration and to encourage.
A real easy way to do the linking would be to have a separate blog list from your main one labeled The Artistic Mother Group and keep all of the participants on that list on your sidebar. Then you don't have to put the links in every progress post. That's what I'm going to do. Each progress post I make, at the end of the post, I will list any new participants. So please check my blog each week for the new comers so you can update your participants' list.
Be sure and check my blog often for updates and notes of encouragement.
I am signing up as follower and putting you on my blog list so I can know when you post. Again, I am so glad you could join us. See you this Saturday on March 6th, our launch date. We will start off by making our background papers.
