Okay, this is really a left over project I am trying desperately to finish. I signed up for a sketchbook for an exhibit in Atlanta. There is an assigned theme, which I thought would be a good idea because it would be easier to work around a theme. My theme is "You Are Me". I am having a really, really, really hard time with the theme. However, I went to see some of the other books and some from past exhibits, and some don't strictly follow their theme. So I think I'm okay with what I've been doing. At one point though, I realized with horror that I... um... (come closer, I have to whisper)... I don't really sketch. But some of the other books don't have sketching either. And it Did say any media. In the back of my mind, I am wanting to get back to my other journal, sewing paper and security envelopes, so that has kind of merged with my sketchbook, with me sewing a lot of stuff on the pages. Anyway, below are a couple of page spreads.
These pages use mirror cardstock. It's pretty cool to hold it in person and see "you". Not so great in a photo though.
Finally, a use for those rolls of chart paper! I sewed fake chart readings onto them!
This may all be moot at this point, however, because it is obvious I am going to miss the deadline, so I will have to throw myself on their mercy to see if they will still take it!

I love the idea of the mirrored person. Very cleaver. You always come up with great ideas. And you work good under pressure.
I like that too. Also - where do you get your rolls of chart paper. 'Threading' them is a fantastic idea!
