SHOW & TELL with LINDA POWERS

Our August workshop will be a Show & Tell introduction to member Linda Powers' creative process behind her Objet Trouvé books. These are intuitive collections of  found papers, scraps, and odd bits assembled into spontaneous works of art. Inspired by her Black and White Mostly mini book, these simple pamphlet-stitched books are made from discarded prints, rust-dyed experiments, decorated papers, and everyday flotsam.

Each page is a reflection of Linda's creative spirit. She knows a book is finished when it feels like her--and earns a name.

DRUM LEAF & BIMA

 The July workshop taught by Judy Detrick was instruction on how to make a book using a break-away Drum Leaf binding. Although we didn't quite make it all the way through finishing the binding, Judy was very thorough in her demonstrations and told us how to find more instructions on the binding. Sherrill Story shared the following photos of her finished book.
