March Blizzard Book

For our main piece of work this month We made another Hedi Kyle book,  ably led by Jac. The Blizzard Book is a useful structure which enables individual pages to be worked on outside of the structure and then inserted later. As we made the book, which is definitely easier once seen rather than working from a written description, we discovered various other uses to which the spine on its own could be used.    This demonstrates  one of the great advantages of collaborative working.
We traded books, paper and other items at our swap table.

 



Our ' Reflections ' books were examined with interest, and other work in progress enjoyed,  with  several problems solved. 

Forthcoming Themes 

We  had several suggestions for future themes. After putting them all in the hat, the theme over the next 2 months is  'SEA', due at our May meeting.

It is also time to condsider the next season

 in the 'Woodland' project which  is obviously

 'SPRING' 

(for new members this is an ongoing theme throughout the coming year, where individuals adobt and  visit some woodland in their own area and create seasonal responses.)

Next Workshop

Will be a  .... how-to-presentation..... and other  thoughts on Eco-printing using modified, buried and boiled paper.   Cyanotype and Rust imagery techniques will also be discussed.  This will be followed   with  some  Haiku Composition if we have time.

More details to follow in a future blog post
