Making a Piano Hinged Book with Alice

Back on track this week after really bad weather last week as Alice showed us how to make a book using heavy paper, regular paper and wooden skewers. Jennifer and Alice provided a lot of the painted heavy paper for the covers.

From this to
that.

The papers are notched in order to slide the skewers through alternating each one. Quite clever.

Everyone was quite intense while working.

Show and Tell

Priscilla complete her brown bag challenge and was anxious to show us her soy wax batik fish pincushion.  The fish matched the paper that is on the stand, the eyes are buttons and the beads are glued to the pins. 

A bit freaky but nevertheless quite clever, Jeanne is redoing a boiled wool jacket and a glove into a pincushion???

Alexa has been busy making more beautiful glass beads.

Jennifer made two postcards to enter in the Muskegon Museum Postcard show and sale.

 Barbara is redesigning sweatshirts to sell this summer in Glen Arbor.

 Sue is experimenting dyeing fabrics and wool with black bean water and dead man's foot which is a fungus.

 This beautiful wood bowl was handmade for Sue.

Jennifer brought a cookbook that the guild made in 1989.  Time do another???
