A long, long time ago, I sent a little box of blank 'record covers' out into the world, and now they've come home - thank you so much to everyone who was a part of this!
The brief for this particular circle journal was for each participant to choose a rock album that they rated in terms of the music, but weren't so keen on the cover art - and to design a new cover for it.
So, without further ado, here are all the entries (with their originals underneath):
One thing I have noticed is that pretty much all of us took a fairly literal approach, where the originals were more abstract. Well apart from Sian, who went from a VERY literal original and took us, thankfully, a step away from squishy spaghetti :)
I love all the re-imagined covers, now we just have to persuade the record companies to buy the artwork from us and repackage those albums :D
Before I go, I have a favour to ask...... unfortunately a couple of people had to drop out of this CJ as it did its rounds, so I still have two blank records left over:
I would REALLY like to see them get used so that I can add a couple more masterpieces to the box.
So if any of you out there reading this have thought - oh that looks like a fun theme - I'd like to have a go at that - then please let me know by email or in the comments below, I'd really appreciate it.

Wow they look fabulous together, I'd volunteer Sarah - except I've already done one LOL! Hope you get a couple of takers it would be nice to see it finished in its entirety.
MILD SULK?
I am spitting feathers -
WHY DIDN"T WE REALISE?

I hope Morti will have me back soon and we WILL eat drink craft and make merry...
Dxxxx
if you get no other takers I'll do you a cover - send it round with the Desert Island discs??

Such an original idea for a swap. All the Collabor-art artwork is fantastic, so interesting to look at. Hope you get the last 'taker' soon.
If you've still got one left I'd love to give it a go! I haven't got a clue what I'm gonna do but it looks fun :)
Don't worry if they're all taken now.

I'd do a record cover too - but I guess I'm a bit late! Unless you can whizz up a spare from using another as a template...
I think I might have deleted my previous comment rather than posted it, but then again I might have sent it and it's awaiting moderation. I don't know, because I closed the window without checking whether or not I'd hit "Publish your Comment" first. Silly me. If I have already, no fret. If I deleted it, then my orginal comment was basically to say I'd do a disc if you've got a spare going begging....
Thanks a bunch Jo and Morti - but both the spares are now spoken for. Very kind of you to offer though.
