Sending Bookish Love

Sending Bookish Love

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I led an hands-on Envelope Bookmaking workshop for families, at a building owned and operated by The Community Corporation of Santa Monica, or CCSM.

Participants learned to make a concertina or accordion fold,

and attach it as pages to their envelope covers.

Then came the fun part…

EMBELLISHMENT!

Markers, stickers, collage, ribbon…this is a mixed media project.

This artist displayed not only a wonderful color sense, but tremendous patience, as she cut and glued on paper triangles mosaic style to her envelope cover.

   This artist became absorbed in her writing.  Who is the lucky recipient of her efforts?

     The sky is the limit…or should we say the stars…

Proudly displayed…A very special Valentine, or some kind of communication.

BRAVO!
