The start of a good project!

For 50p from the charity shop they're the cutest thumb-sized things ever!

So 'how do you convert a pair of porcelain clogs into a book?' i hear you ask. Well, initially i hadn't a clue! I didnt want to go completely obvious with The Sound Of Music dance display or even a Holland countryside travel book, however i rethought and realised - maybe the obvious isn't always the obvious! I started the process off by experimenting with the patterns on the clogs. I then twisted, pulled and played with colour to come up with a crazy kaleidoscope pattern.And very naughtily, both Gayle and I realised how this could be associated with Holland. Amsterdam's famous Cafes sell a certain substance which, along with others, create different kinds of hallucinogenics. Whether that something is absolutly hilarious or your in a world of fairies, it can be best described in crazy wild patterns. Anyway, no, the book wont be inspired by hardcore drugs, but on Amsterdam cliches! A fun fill-in-yourself tourist book which takes the mick out of stereotypical Holland with funny facts thrown in. It may be a bit tongue-and-cheek but i have a plan! Your'll just have to wait to admire the final product. In the mean-time, i shall let you in on a few of my processes during.

So heres the process of my inspiration for my final book theme:
