illusion

Greetings gang!

Thank you for accepting me this late! This sure has been an adventure, getting my sketch book to the post office and on its way to Eric.

As I'd been fantasizing about this new rotation for a while now, I kind of had an idea in my head before getting the book itself. I am a photo transfer geek, so I wanted include so some of that in my book. I also wanted there to be a bit of my current photo project - "a picture in a picture". With a heart full of excitement I went out to get my Moleskine. Eight shops later I realized I needed to settle for making one on my own.

This was just a start of another adventure, because I had never made a book before. I used the covers of a photo album, and in the end it did not turn out so bad. However, when you receive my book and see it falling into pieces, please be so kind and add some more glue.

And of course, when I was sure to get everything done by Monday (as promised), I ran into more technical problems. The first photo transfers were a failure, I ended up peeling off a whole layer of paper. By the time I got it done on Tuesday, I only made it to the post office 15 min after they had closed...

I initially did not plan to have a theme, but as the various events were rolling out in front of me I decided to call it "illusion".
