Birds! Skinny Book Project




Whee! I am taking this on! What am I thinking?
I am hosting a Bird themed skinny book, details to follow below. There are 19 spots. Please comment on this post to request a spot in the project, then email me with your name, mailing address and phone number.
Thanks to my fellow Circus freaks for helping me iron out the details for this project.
(If you have no idea what a skinny book is, check out this free tut on Artchix- http://www.artchixstudio.com/create/classroom/class_skinnybook.htm)

Birds! Skinny Book-

You- create 20 original (no copies please) pages on heavy weight watercolor paper 3" wide and 6"tall. The theme is birds, but you may be loose in your interpretation and focus on eggs, nests, birdhouses and the like.
Please do your best creative work and send pages that would make your socks go up and down if you received them in a swap.
You may create on both sides of your page. Please make sure you include your name/signature on the back along with an email address.
The pages are intended to be bound on the top 3" edge, so leave this area free of embellishment. Dimensional embellishment is welcome, but should extend no further than 1/4" from the surface of the page.
Due Date- In my posession on Aug 5 2007.
*Along with your pages, please send a SASE with sufficient postage to cover the returns. If your pages are lightly embellished, you may want to add extra postage to your SASE to cover extra weight from pages from other folks who have a heavier embellishing style.
International particpants may send a self addressed return envelope and well concealed American cash, or you may pay me for return postage via Paypal to Amymasmith@gmail.com. Please add 3% enough to your payment amount to cover paypal fees. email me if you need advice on how much to send. I am not sure how much these packages are going to cost to mail.

I- will send you back one of your pages along with one page from each of the other particpants. You will receive a total of 20 pages.

You- will bind the book yourself in the manner that pleases you most.

Once I have all the spots filled, I will email everyone with details, and gather addresses and phone numbers for contact.
