ARTIST BOOK GATHERING, a group for people who enjoy making books together, met for the first time in August.
This month, our subject was
Under the Summer Sun. Memories and impressions brought by members of the group included the smell of hydrangea in the heat, a ginkgo leaf, the bite of a deer tick, visions of the beach, a fleeting whiff of fall in the air, and paper folded like the spreading rays of the sun. Artist books took shape in great spirit and variety.
One of the exciting prospects of this group, ARTIST BOOK GATHERING, is the opportunity it offers for sharing ideas and supporting one another in finding solutions to the interesting puzzles of book making. Another exciting prospect is the adventure of seeing wonderful, unique artist books come into being.
And now we've begun. Such fun!!!

PS
Here are two intriguing folded forms that Pam Wright showed us in the Saturday gathering. She used a third folded form in the book she made that day.
