I will be supplying the papers for our pocket pages. These will be cut from maps. Keep that in mind when choosing colors for the cover paper, card stock and ribbon. The maps will lend the book nicely to a travel, vacation or road trip theme.
Basic supplies: scissors, pencil, ruler, glue stick, tacky glue or something similar, toothpicks for applying glue, bone folder, wax or other paper to protect pages when assembling. If you forget or don't have something, we certainly can share.

AUGUST WORK DAY
Please plan for this even
if you take your own photos.
This is important for us
as a group for proposals.
We have tentative plans
to have Ben Cooley come and shoot photos
at the August 2 all day work meeting, in the morning, for a new
cd to be used for proposals.
Each artist will be
allowed one free photo. If you would like to have more
Ben can shoot them for
$10 each (payable to Ben that day). This is a great opportunity
for us
individually and especially as a group. There is no
size restriction but no glass because
of the restriction of
space at the police station. Please have a friend bring one piece if
you can not attend..
