A little egg lay on a leaf

Earlier this year I signed up to take part in Pay it Forward. It took a while but my books are now safely with Jack and Alison. (I haven't heard from Ersi and her blog has been quiet for a few months. If you are reading this Ersi I hope you are OK).

It started life as a response to the theme of Holes on Artists Books 3.0 but I decided it worked better on a smaller scale than the prescribed dimensions for that swop.

I think it is best described as the Hungry Caterpillar (apologies to Eric Carle) meets the Bard.

Finished Edition

Holes

I’ve been working on a book swop for Artists Books 3.0. The theme for this swop is 'holes'. I was inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

Because of the way the book has developed, using pages from a recycled book, it won’t fit the size parameters for this swop but I'm going to finish the edition and use it for 'pay it forward' instead. 

This image is from the working proof. I’ll post more of the whole book when the finished versions have been sent out.
