She Danced for the Night: A collection of art and poetry

My name is Brad Hough and I am collaborating with my daughter (Sarah Hough), who is a 16-year old high school junior.  I'm taking charge of all the payments, rewards, and helping her with the technical layout of her book.  Everything else is hers!  All the artwork.  All the poems.  Everything is original and from her creative process. 

Please note that the poems shown here and that were in the video are only excerpts.

So here's her description of the project:

In this project, I've paired my original poetry and art.  I have never seen these put together well.  I'm hoping to do that with this project.  My book will be around 40 to 50 pages.  It will be full color 6x9 in paperback.

I have completed most of the art and poetry that I'm planning on using for this book.  I'll put some samples down below so you can take a look.  I hope you enjoy what I've created.

I want to thank all my supporters! :)

 

 Here's the draft of the cover of the book.

 And here's the design for the first postcard.  The other postcards will be designed if I meet my funding goal.

Risks and challenges

This project has very low risk. My biggest risk is scheduling time to finish my last pieces of art and poetry now that school has started.
