Blank journals for women in prison

I received information from a list serve I am on about a group that provides books for women in prison all over the country.  We were specifically solicited for blank journals for this project.

Here is the link to the organization that provides the books and journals.

First Saturday in December

Here we are busily working on the project that Natalie brought to us today.  First we drew, then we went over our drawings with PVA and water and then we folded it into a book.  Marvelously abstract images emerged.

Codex is returning to Berkeley in early February.  Here is the link to the website: http://www.codexfoundation.org/

Recommended: a visit to the Presidio Officers' Club Exhibition Hall to view Intersections 5, a juried show of fiber artists.

An organization you might want to know about

Here is the URL for the National Guild of Book Workers. http://www.guildofbookworkers.org/about/index.php

I just learned of its existence and thought you should know too.

First Post

We had an outstanding session today with Kris teaching us 3 different small books with pamphlet stitches.

I want to remind everyone that Marin Moca will be having its Second annual Altered Book Show to Benefit the Museum.  The prospectus will be available in early January.

Two little books are tucked into two of the pockets on the front of the primary book.
