Really, Finnie, a vintage looking wooden crate???? Pure artistic genius! And WAAAH!!! A pull-out witch! Oh MY! Quite the interactive masterpiece. I am absolutely slack jawed! You know, I love collecting pop-up books by Sabuda, so I go nuts over little touches like this. Great big standing ovation, waving my lighter in the air with one hand and shaking my glow stick in the other! <br /><br />And the new blog look is icing on top of the cake. Yummy!

I love your images on the screen, but I'd really like to put my hands on them.<br /><br />So, these are in bookstores everywhere, yes? (not the wooden-box/accordion-style book), but the others.....surely, but I just haven't seen them because I don't go in bookstores, because buying books is no in my budget.....Coreopsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468751724163567889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-69787267969324917222011-06-11T01:39:23.238-07:002011-06-11T01:39:23.238-07:00Hello, I am supposed to be sleeping or painting, i...Hello, I am supposed to be sleeping or painting, instead I am blogging.

I really applaud you for your hard work, your creativity and your ingenuity! Talk about awesome..to create a space for your book out of the pallet of the printer which printed your book...conceptually perfecto! <br /><br />I LOVE the illustration of the big bad wolf and little Red. How did I miss that one, Andrew? I love it. And of course your gorgeous illustrations look fabulous bound and with the red tabs that help the book from flipping about. I think it's ingenious to have her pop out of the flames by the way! And, no need to fight it, Andrew, you are an intelligent craftsman/artist who makes us want to delve deeper into your work each time we view it. SUPER duper congratulations and I know your book will be a hit at the show.

I wish I had oodles of money stashed away in a cave somewhere, so I can pretend to be an art collector and buy a copy!!!! You must, must make a few limited edition copies and sell them, I have no doubt people are going to be lining up.<br /><br />And good idea with the wooden box, it adds more beaten antique look to it.
