Frances led us this month in making a 'Double Accordian Fold' suitable for all sorts of books and sturdy enough if made with a medium weight card rather than anything to thin. After the making, we had time to think of decorative schemes or words to insert.
Several books on our current theme of ‘Borders' were shown, along with other works in progress. Our theme for March and April is Openings
Julie volunteered to join Marilyn at the John Moore’s Book Art Exhibition for a lunchtime session which will be open to the public. We will aim to take a long look at some book art examples and talk about a variety of different constructions.
Anyone interested in making some Chinese thread books as shown in the meeting would be well advised to look up Paula B Krieg’s videos on YouTube, under Zhen Xian Bao, or Chinese thread books. She is also at bookzoompa.wordpress.com
Our next meeting will be led by Jac, details to follow nearer the March meeting.
