Cereal box books - again!

We decided we needed another day to work on our books. Most of us still haven't finished, but it was good to have another day working together.

Nola was still painting pages. Her book cover was made from a Jatz biscuit box, which makes a spine 6.5cm wide. That needs a lot of pages. She's been painting pages every meeting lately!











She also printed some pages from a sheet of ultra-thick paper towel that she's painted with acrylic paints. The paper towel is super thick so it really slurped up the paint but it also printed a lot of pages.

 

 She says these pages will be useful because they have white areas to write on, as well as some colour.

Carol made a cover for her book. She wanted to make a small book with long thin pages and, of course, her trademark glitz.

Maz was working on her book cover.
These books are all going to be a long term project!

Next time, we're going to use some sun dyes that Jan left for us. Let's hope we have a fine day!
