The Sky is Falling








My good friends  Karen and Shirley put me on to the SCBWI challenge about the Sky Is Falling - a story I confess to having never read till two days ago. Very interesting....

If you are doing this challenge please feel free to leave a note. I would love to see your approach.

Of course me not being in the SCBWI could be a problem :) If you are in Oz and a member please let me know what it's like so I can be tempted :)

cheers from here 

Thank you for your visit!

    Bonjour mon cher Andrew,
    Cette dernière création est incontestablement encore une oeuvre remplie d'originalité et de poésie... tous vos animaux sont sublimes, ils sont très distingués... La poule a même un sac "kelly"! quelle classe. Ils sont tous chapeautés... Mais attention à ce renard rempli de malice!!! Le tout dans une merveilleuse flore qu'est le myosotis ou forget me not!...
    Et moi dès que possible j'essaie de ne pas oublier de venir te rendre visite...
    Gros bisous à bientôt!

    J'espère que le traducteur Google cessera de raconter des bêtises!!...

    hallo Andrew, wie schön,
    die Farben, ich bin froh, daß der Fuchs die nette Ganz verschont?...
    ja mir fallen die guten alten Märchen ein. Oft der Wahrheit entsprechend und direkt aus dem Leben.
    eine schöne Kindheitserinnerung,
    die immer blauen Vergissmeinnicht aus dem Buch der Poesie,
    mit vielen Grüßen Jasmin

    How about Lil Kim? Isn't she a member of SCBWI in Oz? I am thinking that she is, though I could be mistaken. I don't remember but I'm thinking that it isn't too much to join. I'll check and get back with you though because it's been a while and I don't remember anything much ;)

    Ok, it's a little more than I remembered but not horrible I guess. It's $85 the first year and $70 to renew after a year. I was thinking like $60 but it's been while.

    Well.

    I could have sworn I just read something quite funny here. After my epileptic laughing fit, all I remember now is something about boiled cabbage up nostrils and monkeys. Hehehehehehehe

    Aaaah! What a shame you are not a member! I think your answer to the challenge is great! The way the geese are admiring Turkey Lurkey's spectacles while he stands there with such a distinguished and serious expression makes me laugh! And I love the low-level vantage point. Hehehehe, I can't believe you did this just for the hell of it.

    Cheers!

    I lovelovelovelovelove your interpretation!!! I especially love the fashionable creatures and the details, the little flowers on the ground. Are you sure you are not a fashion designer? I thought of doing this challenge too but I am not a member either and I already started so many unfinished projects. I hope you are well. I love the colors. It seems as if the sun is shining after a rain and it's afternoon just before dusk.

    Oh, that separation is terrible, I imagine that sharks arrive to that place, in a second, Terrible!
    That happens with the book, while reading in bed, it happens to me every night. luckily my nose is large, it leaves a good mark on the page, enough to know, the next night, in what place I was reading, I like the third image
    good week

    This is great! You should submit it to the contest. It takes five minutes (and $85) to join, then you're a member, for a year anyway.
    You are so good at telling a story with one picture! I always enjoy lingering and finding the details.
    I made a submission today. I'll post it later in the week. See ya! :)
