I've cut up Rose's Moly....dun dun dunnnnn!!! (enter scary music here)

Okay, it's not really as bad as it sounds....actually I did it on purpose. And to get technical there's really only two small cuts that only make the picture, cuter. I decided to do a bit of collage in Rose's moly...her Alice and Dinah are wearing real bows (wait until you see them!!) and I thought it only right to add a bit of realness to my entry. I've added some tiny card people...well, I won't spoil it...I will post a work in progress picture tonight when I get home from work, so you can see what's going on...and Amy I promise to have it out in the mail this week. So be on the look out next week for a small package in your mailbox :)

I guess we're going to need to decide who gets the book after you. Does it go on to Sherrie, as originally intended or do we keep sending it backwards? Not really sure. Someone help me decide!! I am terribly indecisive :)

Edited at 11:07 pm - California time :)


Okay so here's the work in progress.... I was able to color in the grass and roses today at work on my lunch break...I started the sky last night at home...and will continue forging on...but wanted to show you what I have so far.

omg Kelley it looks amazing!! (from wat I can tell from the tiny thumbnail) I LOVE it when people add real things to a picture :3 it makes everything so personal. YAY!! I cant WAIT to see it in my hands! Your allways so good with drawing roses too, its not fair! I should have that talent dangit, my name asks for it!

Oh and about the direction of the moleys - I think we should just keep going forwards - it'll be less confusing i think! Plus, do you know if Shalanna is still in the portrait group? if not ill put up an announcement and get Gordan's address (:

Yah, sorry for the tiny thumbnail...I tried resizing it but the damn thing doesn't want to cooperate. I must doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what :)
As for the roses...I took inspiration for the Sabuda pop up book and just made them a little more curved rather than angular, hee hee.
You know...I don't know if Shalanna is still in that group or not...has she responded to any of your emails at all? Maybe send her one and ask if she's still involved. I know she was having a lot of stuff going on with her mom and she's got a trip coming up in a few weeks so that might put her behind there as well.

She hasnt responded to any of my emails but maybe its because she replied to yours at the same time and knew you'd let us know (: Ill send her another one now and ask her if shes still in the Potrait group.
On another note I took out a book from the library and thought of you. and your moley theme in a different exchange. It's called 'Perrault's Fiary Tales' put together with illustrations by Gustave Dore and original tales by Charles Perrault. It was such a good read...though utterly terrifying! I cant believe kids used to be sat down by their mummy and be read these gruesome tales! Anyway Perraults stories are proberly laying around for free on the net. If you havnt already read them, try and look out for them :)
