Book Arts Improv: Call #4
Here we are in the last week of the Book Arts Improv – it has been a roller coaster! My studio is a total disaster. Enough of a disaster that I won’t take a picture of it. Ugh.
I hereby enter a state of denial.
[Denial]
Ah…much better.
Here are the suggestions for this week:
- The best holiday that doesn’t exist
- A fashion trend that should go mainstream
- An inedible object that looks tasty
To participate in the Improv, just comment on this post with a response for each of the three categories listed above. I’d like to keep this suitable for all audiences, so please, nothing offensive.
I will accept suggestions until 5:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, January 24, 2012. On that day, one entry will be selected at random and not only will that person’s suggestions be used for that week’s book, but the winner will also receive a copy of the book.
This week is also your last chance to get an entry in for the big prize – a set of books that includes each of the four books created during the Improv.
Everyone who has posted suggestions for each week will be entered into a drawing (one entry per person, per week). If you have participated in the Improv for more than one week, each week’s post will count as one entry – if you’ve been following me for four weeks, then your odds are better.
One more thing – if the grand prize winner has already won one of the books earlier in the month, then I’ll send the remaining three books in the set. Another drawing will then be held for the remaining book. Hopefully that all makes sense.
Good luck to everyone!
