Recently, over dinner, my dear husband remarked, "You have been working on this project for two years." I paled, I hemmed and hawed, I took several gulps of wine and acknowledged his superior grasp on the passing of time. Two weeks after that, I had completed the rest of the drawings. Initially, I was thrilled at the generosity of everyone who contributed objects to the project. Now I am further awed at everyone's kindness and patience. No one complained about waiting two years to receive their due consideration!
There are 51 drawings all together. You can see most of them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/losttime/sets/72157628783920231/
The best news though.... Tucker is going to put all the drawings into an ebook! So now, when I "distribute" the objects, I can leave them with a little tag directing the finder to an ebook with all the images and values beautifully compiled. I am so ready for the next phase to begin!
I undertook this project wanting to do something big a la Shel Silverstein's Melinda Mae when she set out to eat that whale.
I tend to be more of a starter than a finisher. I am very proud of finishing this project. Much like Melinda Mae, it was a matter of placing my butt in that chair and tackling the project bit by bit. Also like the proverbial eating of the whale, it got a little disgusting by the end.
So thank you for sticking by me through the whining and procrastinating and stay tuned for chapter two!
