Hi Sue,
I wanted to find out if I could use one of the photos on the website to illustrate what a crankie is?
Thanks for providing such a fabulous resource!

Doug, Hello! Yes, I remember you, it took a minute because it's been awhile since Michael was in El. school. He's 23 now, out of the house and working as a Pharmacy Tech. He really likes it. Yes, I would be delighted to visit Meridian School (one of the
best) with my crankies. I will call you tomorrow!

Hi Sue or Seattle Crankies,
This Doug Coppinger from The Meridian School (still there!). I would like to talk with you about these wonderful moving panoramas and possibly coming to our Summer Program to present to our young participants about
this art. My phone number is 206.632.7154.
Hope to hear from you!

Do you have any suggestions for how to keep the scroll moving on a level tract? Mine keeps going up a bit I think the two spools are pretty much straight up and down.

Dennis - That' great that you made your first crankie and a bummer about the white out. This reminds me of my first crankie, I didn't realize that wool felt (VS Eco Fi felt) blocked out the light. So when I had the crankie half finished I loaded it into
the box, turned on the light and all the wool/felt images turned out black - not what I had in mind. Not sure what to suggest to you (very fine sand paper??) but don't get discouraged and I hope we will see your crankie. Send a picture or video si=ometime.
Sue

Hi,
Just finished my first crankie. Have one big problem, and hoping you might have some solution---- if one exists. Some drawings needed corrections so I used wite-out. Looks fine on the face of the paper. But when I back-lit it, they come out as
big, dark blotches. Can't think of anything to do but re-draw a whole lot of pictures.

Barbara, That is a great question - where to start? I started by cutting out felt pieces of really simple, outdoor images: pine trees, mountains, sunrise, summer and fall. Just to get a feel for the process. That was Valse Beauliu, it's in the "Watch a
Crankie" section of this website. My second crankie, I expanded to all four seasons! WOOHOO! Again, no story line, just getting a feel for thinking laterally. CRANKIE ARTISTS: CAN YOU SHARE HOW YOU GOT STARTED??

Hi Sue, I have not made a cranky yet, but will enjoy giving it a try. I have been making my way through your website and see lots of ideas and your materials list. Do you have a suggestion for how to get started with a simple one? Thanks so much. Barbara

Barbara, thank you for your message. You won't be disappointed with the "Illusions in Motion" book, there is so much information in it, that it takes a while to digest it all. I go back to it every few months are read sections over again. Have you ever
made a crankie/moving panorama?

Thank you, Sue, for your comment on the Pilgrims Progress Website. I too love to learn what I can about panoramas, didn't know they are also called Crankies. I ordered the book "illusions in Motion". So glad I have found your website, will enjoy learning
from you. Thanks, so much.
