Valentines Visit the Library

The Humboldt Library Kiosk is overflowing with red and pink. Come and see a collection of valentines created for the yearly February exchange for North Redwoods Book Arts Guild. There is plenty here to inspire creations for next month and it's always a treat to see one of your "old" valentines on display.

 

 

Valentine Exchange

ANNUAL VALENTINE CARD EXCHANGE

Here are just a few of the valentine cards present at today's exchange. It's always a treat (yes, there were candies in some of the boxes) to see how each artist interprets the theme. This is one of our guild's favorite exchanges.

Instead of holding a workshop, members brought some of their favorite books received in an exchange or just a favorite book they made or found in their travels. Dolores displayed books created using the the newsletter project pages, providing a fabulous lineup of books with the project page sitting behind each book. Project pages from 1996 through 2008 are in the compendiums (vol. 1, 2, & 3) and still available to members for sale ($5.00 per volume, unbound).

Peggy brought the set of books below.

Members then were free to shop around for ideas as they looked through the vast array of handmade books. We should have some interesting exchanges in the future.
