My somewhat short ‘How to Make an Altered Book crafting class’ presentation will begin at 2. You won’t want to miss the ideas I will be sharing so please don’t be late. You may be as fascinated as I am about this art expression. In a ‘nut shell’ your altered book will be a ‘One of a kind’ memory book authored by you. Truly a priceless family keepsake!
What to bring April 9th ~ One medium sized hard back book in good shape (with a title that speaks to you’re the artist side of your brain) and theme idea for your book. At this first class I will help you make a layout getting your book pages ready for altering/crafting at 2nd class April 16. Your assignment now (before the class) is to hunt through your home library or go ‘thrifting’ for a book with a title you really like and the theme for altered book.
(My first altered book is called ‘Patty goes to Roma’ created from a cook booked called ‘Small bites of Italy’. This was the just right title for my 1st altered memory book about my once of a lifetime trip to Rome ‘thus far’ that was only 2 ½ days). It is SO neat. In my photo are a few books for future altering/crafting.
What to bring April 16th ~ that sack/pile of Photos that you’ve been planning to put in memory book, tiny trinkets, receipt plane tickets, small pieces of favorite fabrics, ribbon and lace, small game pieces, journal notes, cards and/or art, special tiny mementos or old pieces of vintage jewelry that relate/go with the ‘Memory altered book ‘you will be crafting. I'm sure you have unique items I didn't mention...great!
Have a girl’s get-a-way…invite a friend! Of course this class is open to guys also. Parking is available in front of store on 2nd Street. Please e-mail me if you have any questions. I’m here and will be there to help. Space is limited…sign up early if you can. Maybe your book can be an Easter gift to yourself or someone very special. We’re going to have fun! Tasty snacks and drinks will be ready for you to enjoy in our little Tea Room and the N2God store is open both Saturdays. You’ll want to browse and check out new/old items offered for sale.
Cost is $10 (for the 2 Saturday classes April 9 & 16) total of 4 creative fun hours ~ in your own work place. Please pay at arrival April 9th. Thank you in advance!
Blessed,
Patty in Oz
