Not sure which book this is going to - but I have been inspired by an architect - Antonio Sant'Elia who died aged 28 in the First World War on the front lines. None of his buildings were ever built, but his drawings are fantastic. Each page is hand done. No, I'm not expecting you all to do that - I think its summer madness :-))X

Really great Cheryl--interesting blend of retro and nouveau if that makes any sense

Totally impressive, Cheryl. You've "set the bar high." Just beautiful work. Also - good idea with these new threads. We forgot to do a thread flowchart.

Thank you :-) - I am enjoying this new project - AND looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

In his 1914 Futurist Manifesto of Architecture, Sant’Elia said:

“We have lost our predilection for the monumental, the heavy, the static, and we have enriched our sensibility with a taste for the light, the practical, the ephemeral and the swift"

He was talking about architecture of course - but it sounds just as good for VISPO :-) X

That's a great context for your work, Cheryl. The choice of artist might be almost as interesting as the work. I'm looking forward to hearing more from people.
