Olga's Proposal

Hi Everyone, I thought I would put my proposal (reduced down a little) on the blog for all to see.
My theme/title is Who Am I- I Am Who? I have supplied 12 double pages in my Coptic bound book which have a "generic" face on each. I would like all collaborators to describe themselves with their favourite colours/materials/techniques - you could use collage/paints/stamping/dialogue/stitch etc. Don't be worried about inserting needles/brads/decorations through your pages as I will later be joining the pages together & you won't see the back of your pages. If you find the concept too personal perhaps you could do a "fantasy" page instead & document who you would like to be. On the sign in page you can paint your favorite colour, add your photo, sign & date, take a photo of your completed pages to record it for yourself & use a piece of freezer paper in between to protect your work. I hope you all have fun with my book, Happy Creating, Olga.

Can anyone help

One of the postcard contributers asked me for a postCard back! The one with "God Save the Queen song on it that they then altered! I Habe lost the email and am not sure who sent it! I have it ready to post back so can someone let me know who it was....sorry! xx

Anon. is a woman

Here is my effort at altering one of Donna's postcards for her "Anon. is a woman" book. (Or really groovy little box, as the case may be!) It will make the mail out of here tomorrow, so Tamara should see it by Monday at the latest.

I'm enjoying seeing the work posted here - it's making me quite anxious to see what will arrive next in my mailbox! It's exciting to be involved with a group of such clever, creative and inspired souls!

Till next time,

Tracey. x

Part 1 of Lindesay's monologue

Part 3 of the monologue.

Olga's pages of Lindesay's "A Face in the Crowd" - part 3 of his monologue.

Hi Everyone, Lindesay has given me permission to put his book/pages up on the blog - so here is the cover of his book "A Face in the Crowd" along with his part of his monolgue (no.1) & his interpretation. The next part of the monologue is mine (no.3) & my interpretation. (I went past no. 2 as Lindesay wasn't worried if we didn't do it in sequential order). I found this book easy to interpret & completed it in one day which I found was great as I was under no pressure to get it done to catch up with you all. Hope your'e all well - I am feeling lost today as I don't have a book in my hot little hands to alter although Lindesay tells me another should be on the way this week . Happy Creating, Olga.

Next book on its way!

Just to let you know i posted Petas book off to Kristin on Monday! It will take 5-10 days and is recorded and insured! Hope it gets there safetly! I will add a pic of my page tonight x

Kingdom of the Nile

Tutenkhamen's Bris-khamen's Tomb challenges us to make a story and visuals work within the outline of Helen's idea. I really enjoyed it, finding myself waking in the early hours with story lines running around in my head. In the end what happens on the day of assembly is the final result. I'm not sure my page spread makes a lot of sense but it sure was fun to do.
