This Book Will Be Famous… Hopefully!
Asi and I have been beavering away on a little project for a while now. I’ve been hand sewing this book together, and inking up the cover ( made from t-shirt fabric ) ready to launch it out into the wide world. The aim is to create something interesting we can auction for charity at Christmas.
So, what’s the idea ? Well it’s a bit of a cross between Pass the Parcel, Consequences, and the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. There’s 6 spreads in the book, and we’ve sent it to the most famous person we know to create something or leave a message, and then pass it on to the most famous person they know. Fingers crossed it will get to some exciting people along the way. And you never know, maybe even Mr.Bacon himself ;) Anyway, we’ll keep you updated!
The proceeds of the auction will be going to the NSPCC. So if you could blog about it and help get people excited, the more monies we can hopefully raise for this excellent cause. Thanks :D More from Asi here.

[...] Nicky from Monster-Munch and Asi from No Man’s Blog have come up with this wonderful and creative way of raising money for the NSPCC. Nicky has hand-made a very beautiful and delicate looking book that they are going to send to the most famous person they know. Hopefully this famous person will send it to the most famous person they know and so on until the 7 pages are complete. They could contain notes, concert tickets, photographs, anything the famous person thinks will be interesting. When the book is (hopefully) returned, it will be auctioned off and all the proceeds will be given to the NSPCC. [...]

hey nicky - no cameras back yet, but plenty of interesting stories. one camera travelled over 20,000 miles without any pictures being taken! we’re still leaving out more, i want to leave 100 in the wild. i’ll send you one immediately (when i find a post office that doesn’t have a 2hr queue!)

I will take this camera on an epic adventure around the west country of Christmas. I will try and capture pixies .. but i can’t promise anything. Blury pictures of cows are more likely.

[...] Nicki von Monster-Munch und Asi von No Man’s Blog hatten neulich eine schöne Idee. Sie haben eine Art Kettenbrief-Buch gemacht, das nach und nach von immer berühmteren Leuten vollgeschrieben oder -gemalt werden soll, um am Ende dann für einen guten Zweck versteigert zu werden: Well it’s a bit of a cross between Pass the Parcel, Consequences, and the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
