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!

Wow, your sneak peek looks interesting, I can´t wait to see this book when it comes my way! :)
I am so totally jumping out of my comfort zone on this project, trying new things and just going for it. I figured why not? It's not like I can move to the next page in my sketch book and not ever show anyone. It's quite scary! Using gouache for the first time.
I am doing four groupings—two on each side and have finished two. It is a nice size, but can be a little unruly to work on as the need to spread out becomes necessary. It has tumbled to the ground once or twice...
Still much to do—wish me luck.
I know that feeling of not being able to just go on to the next page and choose not to show anyone... But I´m trying hard to just treat this book as my usual sketchbooks - trying to do something "extra nice" (and concentrating not to mess up a page) would make me totally blocked...
Good luck! :)
Oooh, can't wait to see it in the 'flesh'
I'm so pleased everyone involved is being so casual about the work they are doing and treating this book just like their own journals.
I think it takes the pressure off and makes it so much more fun to take part in!
Nice peek Jen...very exciting indeed...:)
Glad to hear the "pressure is off"...sure is news to me...I'm still as "nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs"...and I'm just working in my own book...wait until I get all of yours!! :)LOL
LOL...Margaret you crack me up! Chill, whatever you create is always wonderful!
