To Kill A Mockingbird

[Charlie E]

Probably my favorite book. A while back I thought the book cover would make a pretty good pattern. Not really what I envisioned but it turned out OK, especially since I'm a big fan. Reminds me of a quote from another favorite book. A Prayer For Owen Meany-"Nothing bears out in practice what it promises incipiently."

Awesome job, Charlie!

Awesome, that picket fence must have taken ages. I just love the fact that it's all in one piece. Great cutting

Awesome job on that Charlie.  One of my favorite books too.  Another, when I was younger, was "Charlotte's Web."  Want to tackle that one? You clearly have more patience then  Ido.  I'm thinking that picket fence would not have made it to any attempts I made at the cover of that one!  I loved reading, still do.  I spent most of my summers as a kid going to the library at the start of the week, getting as many books as they would let me check out (and I think one librarian even let me check out extras), reading them and going back later in the week for more.  Good thing that library was within walking distance.  I hope I passed that love of reading onto my kids. (They loved it when they were little I know.) Thanks for sharing your great work Charlie and bringing back some fond memories.

Thanks Melanie! May have to take a look at the Charlotte's Web cover. My 22 month old granddaughter loves the movie. Her mom, my daughter did when she was little too. I do love to read. My 15 year old daughter puts me to shame though. I take her to the library often. She checks out 4-5 to my one and finishes ahead of me. I usually just read a chapter or two before bed. If I were to cut this one again I would have made the fence larger than it is on the cover. It would have been much easier and I think may have looked better.

You did a great job on this Charlie. Smart idea on scrolling a book cover. Well done.
