The finished piece is in the mail and slated to be delivered by Wednesday. Hopefully, he receives it tomorrow since tomorrow is his actual birthday. The book cover result is a hand painted canvas-weight cotton fabric with an end flap which protects the pages. The painting on the front cover is Isaiah on his bike pulling a Radio Flyer wagon filled with project materials through a boyhood scene. The back has a camping scene with a pond. I know, you're saying, Where's the picture already?" Well, my computer took a dump and my smart phone has software limitations and adding photos isn't an option at this moment. I'll put some up as soon as I am able.
One of the great things about the books I'm creating is I can refill them once the book block is filled. Or, I can simply make a new book with its own character. Either way it's a labor of love and a true pleasure to contribute to the fulfillment of, in this example, my Grandson's 11th birthday.
Photos to come.
What's next? Anybody want me to create a really special book for either yourself or someone you love? Let me know so I have time to fulfill your request. As far as price is concerned, that depends on the book. We can discuss that privately.
