Collaborative Book Project

Everyone is invited to participate in CBAC's very first Collaborative Book Project.  To participate, you will need to create one page and then make multiple copies of it (a copy for each person who signs up for the project).  In exchange, you will receive a copy of a page from each of the other participants.  Each of us will then make a book to house the completed pages.  

The theme for the collaborative book is "Words of Wisdom."

The format for the pages is as follows:

• 5.5" high x 8.5" wide (horizontal orientation)
• Keep 1" clear on the spine side of both sides of the page.  It is very important that the 1" margin is maintained for binding purposes.
• You can incorporate your favorite techniques on the page -- stamps, photos, transfers, calligraphy, watercolor, block prints, collage, sewing, etc.  You can use pop-ups and fold-outs if you wish.
• On the back side of your page, include your name and the techniques used.

Please email Nora (nsbernhardt@gmail.com) by May 20th to let us know if you will be participating.  We will confirm the number of participants on May 20th (the number of participants will determine the number of pages you will need to make).  Completed pages will be due at the July 15th meeting.  At that meeting, we will bind the pages in the books using the Japanese stab binding technique.
