March workshop <b><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Lara Cox</span></b> guided us
through making a <b>French Link</b> stitched
book block that will be used in her April workshop where we will make a <b>Medieval Girdle </b>book. The French Link
stitch is a very pretty stitch that is best shown off on an exposed binding
book, but alas, it will not be seen in the Girdle book. Its other great feature
is that it allows a book to open flat for ease of writing and that is why it
works well in this book. Our thanks go to <span style="color: #ff00fe;">Lara</span> for teaching us this stitch, and
ultimately, the Medieval Girdle book in April. Below, are photos of one example
of a Girdle book and some of the book blocks that were made at our workshop.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

If not, head to Helen's amazing website at <a href="https://helenhiebertstudio.com/podcast">https://helenhiebertstudio.com/podcast</a> for a world of paper making information just waiting to be found.</span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For example, recent podcast #108 is a lengthy interview with Peter Thomas about his very down-to-earth start as a papermaker at Renaissance Fairs in the '70's. This led him to make small blank books to sell, along with his wife Donna, who did the casings and illustrations.</span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Peter was committed to making the very best paper and books possible. Along the way, he talked to everyone he could about how to improve. In his podcast, he gives a really detailed description of the process of dipping the screen to lift the pulp properly. He emphasizes the fluid motion and the proper stance of the professional papermaker. If you have ever had back pain from pulling pulp, Peter now has a free YouTube video on how to avoid this at <a href="https://youtu.be/i16V_hFPQfQ" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 19.26px; text-decoration-line: none;">https://youtu.be/i16V_hFPQfQ</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. Many of us have watched glassblowers- I wonder how many of us appreciate the skill of the professional papermaker!</span></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All of that great craftsmanship leads to beautiful books, so head over to </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><a href="https://www2.cruzio.com/%7Epeteranddonna/" style="font-size: 12pt;">https://www2.cruzio.com/%7Epeteranddonna/</a> (or just search their names), for close-up shots of dozens of Peter and Donna's wonderful books, in categories from Miniatures, to Unique, to Fine Press, to Ukuleles.</span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Their inspiring book, <u><i>More Making Books by Hand</i></u>, first published in 2004, is still available. Also see their website for other published works. </span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b>Side note:</b></i> NORBAG members from Humboldt County have been fortunate to have welcomed Peter and Donna for workshops and informal get-togethers when they have passed through the area.

Here is Lara's description:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">"One of my absolute favorite ways of sewing signatures together...the <b><span style="color: #ff00fe;">French Link Stitch</span></b>, is a spine sewing often used for exposed bindings where you can see the stitching. It is decorative in its finished asymmetrical "X" pattern. It can also be used in a case binding where the stitching would be covered up. I use it both ways because I like my books to lie flat when opened as this stitch allows beautifully.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b><span style="color: #ff00fe;">**Of special note:</span></b> This workshop is a precursor to the April (Medieval Girdle Book) workshop with the idea that we will be using the sewn block we make in March for the April workshop.</i> If you are skipping this workshop or want to sew your signatures together with a different technique, you may do so as long as you stick with the measurements of this signature structure. That way it will still work for the Girdle Book."</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkgPMAIP7y-JiEs-NfvBWnB_lSTLCIlXPVl_7CRQxhPGlkZ_StDvPzK53vOFt-SbDW9s88AGPGK-nc2LH6XaxKMjFu9zhpi8cOkaLo38XT47r_q2fkEdeUvKc-_ctbbqGi08PQo_RFt1CTWsLbGObVYvBlp2B1Z8DHcb4kUUBMM4Ns1ETtQJpvdh_Jj4E/s2755/IMG_E9231.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2755" data-original-width="2755" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkgPMAIP7y-JiEs-NfvBWnB_lSTLCIlXPVl_7CRQxhPGlkZ_StDvPzK53vOFt-SbDW9s88AGPGK-nc2LH6XaxKMjFu9zhpi8cOkaLo38XT47r_q2fkEdeUvKc-_ctbbqGi08PQo_RFt1CTWsLbGObVYvBlp2B1Z8DHcb4kUUBMM4Ns1ETtQJpvdh_Jj4E/w400-h400/IMG_E9231.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiexEbJl01h2DiMV41SMlWTQlzgDcAraunWl5_mNiSpfU8W-Sx4iZBFJ1BmMlkBSayLzAJ3c3iwGAUt97A8taG3AeNxws5U12gVKmZ5IRO8a8RqL1e6UOUOalBo4LOaifwsagI3edoMR4fskboyXo9x6LWO567SWVN7Eu3Dfn2iNsDH0U8zVo0rXijOUh0/s2970/IMG_9224.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2970" data-original-width="2970" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiexEbJl01h2DiMV41SMlWTQlzgDcAraunWl5_mNiSpfU8W-Sx4iZBFJ1BmMlkBSayLzAJ3c3iwGAUt97A8taG3AeNxws5U12gVKmZ5IRO8a8RqL1e6UOUOalBo4LOaifwsagI3edoMR4fskboyXo9x6LWO567SWVN7Eu3Dfn2iNsDH0U8zVo0rXijOUh0/w400-h400/IMG_9224.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">French Link stitches sewn over tapes.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tools and materials for the March workshop:</span></h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Pencil, Ruler, Awl, Bone Folder, Scissors, Beeswax</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thread: Book binding or embroidery thread</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A piece of foam core board, cardboard or an old magazine big enough to use under your signatures when punching holes.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Also, super handy to have on hand:</i> <b>Patience with yourself.</b></span></li></ul></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Please have prepared ahead of the workshop:</span></h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">30 pieces of paper measuring 5 1/2" tall by 8 1/2" wide.

Who knew that adding cute little envelopes with special pull-up messages or artwork to a simple accordion structure could make such a great gift card or book. A very nice aspect to this structure is that it can be made as just a single fold card or an accordion of any length. The sizes of the envelopes and the base structure are easy to change.

I would like to share some quotes from Rick Rubin's book,<i> <u>The Creative Act: A Way of Being</u>,</i> that Michele Kamprath highlighted back in the August newsletter. Although known mostly for his work with musicians, Rubin has insightful things to say about all forms of creativity.</span></div><p></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">"It's not unusual for science to catch up to art, eventually. Nor is it unusual for art to catch up to the spiritual.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">We tend to think of the artist's work as the output. The real work of the artist is a way of being in the world.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">The work reveals itself as you go.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Failure is the information you need to get where you are going.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A work of art is not an end point in itself. It's a station on a journey. A chapter in our lives. We acknowledge these transitions by documenting each of them.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">We are dealing in a magic realm. Nobody knows why or how it works.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Living in discovery is at all times preferable to living through assumptions.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Making art is a serious matter. Harnessing creative energy from Source. Shepherding ideas into the physical plane. Participating in the cosmic cycle of creation. The opposite is also true. Making art is pure play.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">The reason we are alive is to express ourselves in the world...art is a universal way to send messages between each other and through time."</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I especially like the idea that art is about recording where you are at the moment.

These videos run the gamut from a four-part series called<i> "Book Binding Basics"</i> (each about 1/2 hour), to an advanced five-part set, <i>"Making Medieval Books"</i>. Other single videos can be as simple as <i>"Upcycled Pocket Notebooks"</i>, or as specialized as <i>"Making Book Hardware"</i>, <i>"Making Tiger-Eyed Marble Paper"</i>, or <i>"Hand Binding <b>A Christmas Carol</b>".</i></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you are looking for a refresher, or are wanting to try new techniques, this is an easy and accessible resource, available at no cost. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Besides an Instagram account which provides much eye candy, the company also maintains an Etsy shop where they sell high-quality leather-bound journals, marbled papers, vintage papers, and much more.</span></p></span></div>Bonnie J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10729478363399685784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932972420332880156.post-34207921645822204402024-01-01T07:00:00.000-08:002024-01-01T07:00:00.133-08:002024 & ORIGAMI FOLD BOOK<p> </p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #800180; font-size: large;">Welcome to 2024!</span></span>

looking to perfect the skills you currently possess? Probably it is a little of
both. Have you made any resolutions regarding book art for 2024 that you could
share with us? We would love to hear about your ideas, accomplishments or
suggestions. Let’s make 2024 the year we all try something new and share it
with our fellow NORBAGERS!</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our first workshop of 2024 will be an <span style="color: #800180;"><b>Origami-Fold Book</b></span> taught by <b><span style="color: #800180;">Carol DuBosch</span></b>. This delightful, folded structure is made without sewing or gluing: the folds on the spine both secure the pages and hold the book together. If lightweight paper is used for the pages, two or more pages can be inserted into each spine section and folded together. The size and proportions of the book can be varied; however, the structure works best with a horizontal or square format. Regardless of the proportions of the <span style="color: #800180;"><b>Origami-Fold Book</b></span>, the width of its spine is always equal to the height of its pages.</span></p><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Out of ideas? Maybe a <b>Book of Days</b> is just the thing to get your mind in gear again. A <b>Book of Days</b> is like a small journal or scrapbook that you can work on for a week or a month or as long as you like, and put into it whatever pleases or comforts you. You can use scraps from your paper stash and odd bits and pieces that you've been saving for no particular purpose. You can get fancy with your book structure, but you don't have to--this book is just for you.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The discipline of making a <b>Book of Days</b> is to do <b><i>something</i></b> every day of the month. It doesn't have to be much--a rubber stamp, a sticker or two, a leaf, a limerick or a favorite quote. Or it could be more elaborate, like a tiny collage. Sometimes I've written about what happened that day or how I felt. I write about the weather sometimes, or the phase of the moon. Some of my books feature historical events or celebrations. I've included poems appropriate to the season, haiku that reflect my grief or joy, silly rhymes or sayings, a Biblical quote or two, a song lyric. the point is to put something, however small, on paper every day.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sometimes my pages are all one color and type of paper, but often they're a hodgepodge of different colors and textures. You can add pockets, pop-outs, inserts, folds, pull-outs--whatever pleases you. You can bind your pages any way you like. Many of mine are bound as multiple signatures over ribbons, with hard covers. A few are stab-stitched; and two have a Coptic binding. Sometimes I do the pages first and then bind them, and sometimes I make a blank book with enough pages for the month, and fill it in as the month progresses. Sometimes a day takes a double-page spread, sometimes only one page.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The first <b>Day</b> book I made was in March 2012. It was a real mess in some ways because I made it quickly with odd scraps pieced together. I was in a hurry to get the structure made in February of that year because my favorite cat was dying, and I wanted a blank book to write in after she passed. Many of the pages include haiku or quotations about loss and grief, but there were also happy days, and I was sure to commemorate them as well. It's still a comfort and pleasure to turn those pages and remember those times.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And then there were the two books I made in 2020--May and December. It was important to me to chronicle what it was like to live through that first year of the COVID lockdown. Several of the pages feature cartoon images of knights in full armor setting off to go grocery shopping or run some other errand. I noted on two or three pages the terrifying statistics on hospitalizations and deaths. There were some dark cartoons here and there, like the iconic doctor of the Middle Ages, fully cloaked with his black hat, stick and beaked mask. These books are sobering to look through, not much fun but they tell an important story.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But I have the most fun with the books that focus mainly on notable events and people, with a sprinkling of quotes and poems appropriate to that month. Famous people's birthdays, holidays and commemorations offer many possibilities. All of the books I've made so far have given me a little project each day, supplied an outlet for my thoughts and emotions, and like a snapshot, have frozen in time things that were important or enjoyable. It's a very freeing exercise, to make a record of whatever you want in whatever format you want, and in the process use up some scraps and have a creative blast with just the nudge of doing something every day. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #800180; font-size: medium;">Give it a try!</span></b></span></div><br /><p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>Bonnie J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10729478363399685784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932972420332880156.post-58299517829096893072023-12-11T18:33:00.000-08:002023-12-11T18:33:03.415-08:00HOLIDAY CARDS<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our annual Holiday Card exchange took place on December 9. Once upon a time this event was a great opportunity for our local members to get together to celebrate the season and display the cards at Sandy Vrem's lovely home. Sadly the pandemic put a stop to that, but it also got us acquainted with Zoom so that we could expand the celebration to include our out-of-town members. Around 30 members attended the event to see the unveiling of the 22 cards in the 2023 exchange. The difference between this exchange and the rest of our monthly exchanges is that members sign up in advance and then make one card for every member in the exchange, plus one for the NORBAG library. We rarely have more than 30 participants so it isn't too difficult to get all the cards finished in time and delivered or mailed to Dolores before the second Saturday in December.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This year was another wonderful example of the creativity of our members. Some cards featured Christmas, some the New Year or the Solstice and some utilized recycling techniques. We asked each artist to introduce themselves by saying where they live and how they learned about NORBAG before they described their card. It was amazing to learn that some of us have been members for more than 20 years while others have just joined this year. Here is an interesting statistic from Dolores, the keeper of all the records. This year we had 22 members who made 22 cards each for a total of 484 cards.<b> If we go back to the first year of exchanging holiday cards in 1995 and add up all the cards made since then, it is a grand total of <span style="color: #cc0000;">21,670 cards!</span> </b> With members participating from the UK and Canada as well as across the US, w</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">e are truly a global organization! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Individual photographs of each of the exchange cards will be on our Flickr site in about a week.

Twenty-two members participated this year, and they will share with us their inspiration along with the structure and design of their cards. The photograph below of cards (from previous years) shows many different ideas that our creative members have found to illustrate the spirit of the season. As time permits, after sharing the cards, we will have a "visiting" time amongst us to exchange best wishes and hopes for the new year.

This little book could easily fit in your purse, pocket or not take up much space on a desk. It was a fun, easy structure to make that provided different ways to sew or glue the binding. Any artwork could be used on the pages instead of the calendar pages that were provided.

The Lilly is an exceptionally fine manuscript and rare book institution with a sizable collection of artists' books.</p><p>To showcase some developments in publishing, they had an interesting exhibit on the proliferation of book formats in Victorian times. We saw stacks of penny dreadfuls with titles such as Black Bess, Knight of the Road, or The Wild Boys of London. There were copies of the earliest "magazines" with serial novels, all printed on poor quality wood pulp paper to keep costs down. Nearly every aspect of printing became mechanized during this period and demand for low-cost reading material was overwhelming. At the same time, the development of inexpensive printing and color techniques helped make books more attractive.</p><p>From the rare books collection we were shown an exquisitely decorated medieval Book of Hours, a Gutenberg Bible, a First Folio of Shakespeare, a book on foot care from Marie Antoinette's library, and Thomas Jefferson's personal copy of the Bill of Rights (with some corrections).</p><p>Also available upon request are items from the extensive collection of artists' books at the university. Some are housed in the Lilly, while the Wells Library, also on campus, has over 2000. Lilly's website at <a href="https://libraries.indiana.edu/lilly-library">https://libraries.indiana.edu/lilly-library</a> has a wealth of information on various topics related to their holdings.<br /></p><p>Below are a few photos of handmade books I saw there. The first work was by an amateur artist, and the second set of three photos are images of work by <b>Timothy Ely</b>, a contemporary professional. <b>Ely's</b> work is readily searched online from Wikipedia, also from <a href="https://aplanetarycollage.com/">https://aplanetarycollage.com/</a> and other sources.</p>The photo below is of a long "letter" by a 19th century sailor to his girlfriend detailing his voyage, and asking her to wait for him. Alas, he was rejected.<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigIxNSA3XZOZtpdNBMuyN1YLyvJbYb93VGooHlVIBPWq3JwKPBdz9YKqA7KI_2mBoRvpZkKxdpUDepT-mEz0hwmRoV_yY0PTm14e-szMUodQ0N-hnv7PbXRlmC8AB1l0nqXJdFZ2GHgPvGFWJp9y1087yfHBCGib5J9Bj3Aw57dkUI4sIdZwZgNEo1uO5R/s3246/IMG_0259.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2273" data-original-width="3246" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigIxNSA3XZOZtpdNBMuyN1YLyvJbYb93VGooHlVIBPWq3JwKPBdz9YKqA7KI_2mBoRvpZkKxdpUDepT-mEz0hwmRoV_yY0PTm14e-szMUodQ0N-hnv7PbXRlmC8AB1l0nqXJdFZ2GHgPvGFWJp9y1087yfHBCGib5J9Bj3Aw57dkUI4sIdZwZgNEo1uO5R/w400-h280/IMG_0259.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></p><p>The following photos are contemporary books, unique and hand-drawn, by <b>Timothy Ely</b>, a Northwest native.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHjBEbXrUabmSnQQqkvipDvf6q_0eG-JM2lj8hdLcC7HaXwPANuNUWmBxRSluQ7RTErOxFQsDnAJU2Lht4UiLUyOdolhk6ZHF-hhzDyTi-PoCy7ipGPUmVKiFGWN6N88RUQ8zG85XVMU7t5y7IFXRe-DprCBf8nuBsr6H1_Ub60bUcT8_ki2FrTM0xWcw/s3264/IMG_0271.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHjBEbXrUabmSnQQqkvipDvf6q_0eG-JM2lj8hdLcC7HaXwPANuNUWmBxRSluQ7RTErOxFQsDnAJU2Lht4UiLUyOdolhk6ZHF-hhzDyTi-PoCy7ipGPUmVKiFGWN6N88RUQ8zG85XVMU7t5y7IFXRe-DprCBf8nuBsr6H1_Ub60bUcT8_ki2FrTM0xWcw/w300-h400/IMG_0271.JPG" width="300" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_-wNtvn93aJOCCUApP9W4uj-DLzk4OWEdYciVrLAMs_u5yyEDS09oKoEATuRSH9E-2f3a-WP36MJZRDcWBqHXXNRT5PxHhV9qGTYrLaICreEMbaokzy5D9D7nte3wMRUpY9NTaFmbOCSYY7GZ1G3jl66IBGNwHT3M-K87YAtnBfNIEZWpdOlTxeZOwplw/s3264/IMG_0267.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_-wNtvn93aJOCCUApP9W4uj-DLzk4OWEdYciVrLAMs_u5yyEDS09oKoEATuRSH9E-2f3a-WP36MJZRDcWBqHXXNRT5PxHhV9qGTYrLaICreEMbaokzy5D9D7nte3wMRUpY9NTaFmbOCSYY7GZ1G3jl66IBGNwHT3M-K87YAtnBfNIEZWpdOlTxeZOwplw/w300-h400/IMG_0267.JPG" width="300" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdijld216hTNPrIy4wYHNsK637k_xlpLDiCtTd0MLMRQ4K7DD8qenVdhoXSzVrbAwZmjSZH4LNLkDHifZAj5O8_rJcs4Ric-eWKGCwG2Gxys3SDlsmzmC_9V6CX0mkUUyyku83jbyXH9I2ZwSXiuab0tDxAzYYYYESvIn0wzU3bN6MPJsrijNbH7jE-Rf4/s3264/IMG_0268.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdijld216hTNPrIy4wYHNsK637k_xlpLDiCtTd0MLMRQ4K7DD8qenVdhoXSzVrbAwZmjSZH4LNLkDHifZAj5O8_rJcs4Ric-eWKGCwG2Gxys3SDlsmzmC_9V6CX0mkUUyyku83jbyXH9I2ZwSXiuab0tDxAzYYYYESvIn0wzU3bN6MPJsrijNbH7jE-Rf4/w300-h400/IMG_0268.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div></span></div>Bonnie J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10729478363399685784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932972420332880156.post-78605465716108347562023-10-30T07:00:00.002-07:002023-11-01T09:29:58.261-07:00HERRINGBONE CALENDAR<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's hard to believe, but we're now less than two months away from the start of a new year.

The structure is made of decreasing sizes of single-fold cards. <b><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Margaret</span></b> said that it's the way they are attached to each other that makes it work, but it is easier to show than describe. For that reason, <b><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Margaret</span></b> suggests that we complete the structure <b>before</b> decorating the pages.

After years of trials and experiments they are producing beautiful paper not from fiber, but from rock. This product comes in different styles from light, translucent, and barely tinted, to heavy and opaque pieces in vivid colors. The color is sometimes variegated on one piece. It folds beautifully, can be hand or machine sewn, and cuts like butter. It accepts many pens, pencils, and markers although it cannot be used with printer ink (it smears). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The cost is comparable to origami paper. What makes it stand out from other papers is that it is waterproof-- it is from rock, after all! To find out more about this innovative product, go to <a href="https://rockpaper.store">https://rockpaper.store</a></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> online, or search that name on Facebook.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcQby4jBJkVGE05PtQA_rBNypOZnC5Oe_Pm5zCyBxSpAVqL4nTarznbMdsZs3rVFcdmsDGche2Iar2TrhsyHSHapi60GWxVsIdI4K5894GkMz1KUGvJQoXOHXXvTj8mkaaRNa4bTijzEgl_ZnWGtcC7JlpIa3KlaAxN58GSekXS8UwNnaliazxNZnZtQMQ/s1000/rock%20paper.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcQby4jBJkVGE05PtQA_rBNypOZnC5Oe_Pm5zCyBxSpAVqL4nTarznbMdsZs3rVFcdmsDGche2Iar2TrhsyHSHapi60GWxVsIdI4K5894GkMz1KUGvJQoXOHXXvTj8mkaaRNa4bTijzEgl_ZnWGtcC7JlpIa3KlaAxN58GSekXS8UwNnaliazxNZnZtQMQ/w400-h400/rock%20paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>Bonnie J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10729478363399685784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932972420332880156.post-19872111393665951392023-09-12T07:13:00.002-07:002023-09-13T08:47:36.459-07:00RADIAL HINGE BOOK & BIMA<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: normal;">Our September workshop, taught by <span style="color: #2b00fe;">Kit Davey</span>, provided us with a completely new structure to play with.

It's a wonderful structure that can easily be enlarged, reduced, or even changed in configuration depending upon how you fold and/or cut it. The version pictured below will be taught by <b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Mary Elizabeth Nelson</span> (aka Emmy). Emmy</b> suggests that you first print out the PDF on regular copy paper in black and white to make a mock up during the workshop. Afterwards you can print it on better paper in color. After you RSVP for this workshop you'll receive the pdf to make the book shown below.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Maybe because the space where I make my art has changed over
the years from the kitchen table to the extra bedroom to the downstairs tv room
to an actual dedicated space, I have never been comfortable calling it my art
studio. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My immediate response is to
associate “art studio” with paints and an easel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, the word “studio” sounds a bit close to
the word “study” and “studious”, and according to the Oxford English
Dictionary, they all come from the Latin studium.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe I am too literal minded about this, but
I don’t feel I “study” art in a “studio”; I feel I do my best to create
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I might study art in a museum or
even a gallery, online or in classes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
I am ambitious, I may create a maquette, or a sketchbook before I produce the
artwork; but that is not the same. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, over the years I have heard the process of creating art
described as an attempt at alchemy-turning base materials into gold- and
alchemists worked in laboratories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oddly
enough, the word studio does not show up in print until 1785 and seems to be
associated with the idea of creating a “study” for the actual piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Laboratory appeared in print from the 1580’s
onward, as the place where alchemists work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The current definition for laboratory is “a
place for providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice
in a field of study”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As this comes
closer to the way I work, I feel comfortable referring to the space where I now
work as my Art Lab.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is not to say that if you’ve been comfortable calling
your space an art studio, you shouldn’t do that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am just sharing my thoughts about what my
space means to me and why.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your
thoughts?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does anyone use other terms
for that place where you work your magic?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

I was trying to figure this out for myself. It certainly wasn't from seeing them in a museum! It wasn't from finding a great discussion of them in a book. It wasn't from hearing about them in any art class. I do know I saw an exciting exhibit of them about 25 years ago at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla, CA, where we happened to be vacationing (escaping Phoenix heat). I remember I was impressed by the variety of book forms and media used. That institution now has a collection of more than 2200 artists' books if you are ever down that way.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But, back to the question! Maybe some of you were lucky enough to be taking art classes where they had book arts on offer, but that didn't happen for me. It would be interesting to hear the various ways that you became aware of this field. So give your brain a workout and let us know how and when this fertile field opened for you.

Of the almost 100 attendees, 21 were members of NORBAG.</span> <span style="font-family: verdana;">We were lucky to experience beautiful sunny (but still chilly) weather for all three days. Seven instructors taught 11 different classes that included book and box making, paper embellishment & marbling, animated pop-ups, and using different plant matter for inks and dyes. The Instructor's Exhibition and talks by some of the instructors were very inspiring. It's not too early to start thinking about next years festival which will take place over three days between April 11-14, 2024.

The sticks, or <b>stilts</b>, can be any material from natural branches, dowels, skewers, popsicle sticks to blown glass, chopsticks, or straws!
