New year...new beginnings!

With the new year came lots of conversation about the recording of things...memories, thoughts, dreams, resolutions, etc. What better way to keep track of all those things in our heads than a hand made book? These small accordion style books proved to be both fun to make and easy to adapt to artist's individual needs.

The artists chose colorful handmade paper as the background for their covers. After attaching the paper to the card stock with glue sticks, they assembled the books with the accordion pages. Each artist personalized the covers with collage items, bobbles and beads. It was fascinating to watch different personalities emerge with unique and creative expression.

Artists had long been asking for art to take home (we often use their art to decorate the building) and this project couldn't be more perfect!
