I'm pretty sure most of you know about Neil Gaiman's Calendar of Tales project since it popped up in the contests in my inbox. I've been following it since Neil was asking questions on Twitter. I love the whole project idea and how interactive and collaborative it is. I'm hoping to submit some artwork to the project (assuming I can get it done in the next 14 days! Ahh!!) and drew up some concept sketches. I posted them on my blog tonight, so I thought I'd share them over here. You can read the full blog entry here.
February Tale
July Tale
Both are concepts for sculpture. The sky-whale is going to be a needle felt wool sculpture and the bear will be papier-mâché. I also want to build a little igloo out of mini handmade books. We'll see what I can get done in 14 days though!
Are you planning to submit anything to the project? If so, comment with a link so I can check out your work! I'd love to see it.
Toodle pip!
