I like the fire, and all the different books -- it is an amazing project, Serinde!

Well, it's finished! So here's a photo of the whole thing for you. Wrinkly, I know, but the ladies in Edinburgh will block and back it properly for exhibition, which will be between 3-21 September in Parliament at Holyrood. If you want to see what happens to the panels, go to this link.

And here's a close up of the bookbinding and the mill's wall and roof:

The lighthouse:

And Joseph Black -- we decided he really needed to be dressed! With a leopard-skin collar, no less

and a sample of the books.

And finally, the unicorn

I am still in awe of this project. Such an amazing thing to be a part of.

Y'all did a fantastic job on your block. I doubt I will be able to fly over to see it in person, but I hope to see pictures of the exhibit once it's all done.

Congratulations!
