"DEPARTURE...!!!"

Jennifer's little Maruman, "Transistions", and I landed at Sky Harbor International airport in Arizona early this morning returning from northern Illinois and a month of midwest "adventure". Hence, after having endured a thorough photo/scanning session this evening, she and I both are looking forward to a well deserved rest tonight!

But...come the morning..."Transistions" will depart, yet again. This time she will be flying solo to visit a bit with Nina in Sweden before she finally, finally heads home to Jennifer. This little traveller certainly will have many "miles" of creative experiences tucked between her pages! The wonders she will have seen...Lucky, lucky book!

Below, are three little peeks of my 10 pages in Jennifer's book...

"Transitions", you have personally taught me a great deal...It has been a rewarding adventure exploring my imagination with you by my side!
Bon Voyage! :)

Jennifer's Book Transitions Arrives...!

It shook me to the core...and made me quiver in my boots!

My 'Transitions' Teasers

As promised, a few sneak previews of my 10 pages in Jennifer's 'Transitions' Maruman.
All sketched from imagination and completed the same day...I had so much fun!

Smokin'

Started my entries in Jennifer's 'Transitions' Maruman today.

...Rode by the seat of my pants

...Threw caution to the wind

...Forgot that I don't do much imaginative sketching

...Ignored the fact that Jennifer's sketches seemed to know EXACTLY where they were going

...No planning

...Sketched whatever came into my mind, as it came into my mind

...HAD A BALL!!!

As a result, I finished all of my 10 pages today and it is currently 'cooling down' on the studio table.
Will scan some teasers for you once it's cold enough to touch! LOL!

Transitions Has Arrived

Wooohoo, Jennifer's book arrived this morning and brought the sunshine with it, giving me the chance to photograph outside in the garden.
Lots more pics for you to see, including the amazing contents...Will upload once I've finished scanning.
(These folding sketchbooks are NOT easy to scan!) LOL!

You can relax now Jennifer, 'Transitions' is a little bent and dented from her journey but other than that she seems to have survived the ordeal and is glowing.

Ready to send to Anita

One more peek before I send.

I couldn't send it without some sort of cover. So this AM, in between family activities, I managed to throw something together. It is being packaged and shipped today.

Maruman X "Transitions" peek

Here is a peek at two of the ten pages in my Maruman called "Transitions". I have finished all ten pages and I am ready to pack it up and send it to Anita.

I'm off and running...

This is a peek at my Maruman X project titled "Transitions". I have not done a cover and may not get to that before I have to ship. We'll see...

Summer is a very busy time here in Maine. After our long, cold, dark winters, summers always seem to be one big celebration. Next Wednesday my family arrives from California. A good old fashion family reunion. Let's hope it doesn't rain. There will be little time for this project so I am on it, now!
