I think we should have more time to do this, but not so long as to put it off and still be running late LOL
.............

Some of you did the sketch book projects what can you tell us about them?
I did the Sketchbook Project and it was fun. I had been to the mountains and fell in love with the woods again, so I got off to a to a great start in my book "Things That Change Other Things", I began with sketches in black and white of a single tree, flowing into a forest of tress, then a steel saw, a hammer, barbed wire, electric saws, etc, then a tree that was made of picket fence posts , then a fence surrounding and into a house, into a city, then back to a single tree. I colored some, painted some, left forest stark black and white. A huge storm with lightning, and electricity lighting the city and just a simple colored pencil sketch of a 2 X 4 with a bent nail.

It took months and I lingered at the end due to work and Life in general, thus, I left some pages just sketches, and turned it in on time. So, getting started early on a big project is a good idea.

Here's another question: Am I correct in assuming that all pages should be 8.5 x 11 (standard typing paper size, I believe)? Please confirm YES or NO by posting. Thank you.

Diva 02-11-2011 10:02 AM
In further reading, I guess I can do only one letter. And up to 3 pages of that letter.

I hope we don't have 27 "N" pages! lol

Ok....I feel like I'm being a pain in the a$$ now....

BUT (no pun intended)......... so we do our page[s], the Pixie photographs them for the book? Or do the originals go in the book? And if it's just the photograph, do we get our originals back?

I think Tommi was saying no more than three pages....regardless of letter....
But one of each isn't ridiculous if you want to contribute that.

I'm with Diva! I had hoped to do a page for all six chapters. I guess it would be difficult to bind that many pages together though.

Pixie 02-11-2011 10:40 AM
I will figure out the binding no worries...yall just get creative...and whatever inspires you to do however many will be just fine!

I'm doing one for each letter. Would I be limited to one each? What if I got really excited with P

Gemme- I agree with you on this. Going with the P~L~A~N~E~T chapters, I've been trying to think of ways to work it in. I was thinking about topics like: coming out, identity, aging, acceptance, gender, love, family, community, etc. I guess I'd better get creative. :seeingstars:

nycfem 02-11-2011 11:57 AM
Okay... making sure I have this right. pixie correct me if i'm wrong:

We can do any size pages, though the max is 8.5 x 11. If it's smaller Pixie can put the smaller page on an 8.5 x 11 so that all pages are the same size.

We can do as few or as many pages as we want. The only thing is that we have to be able to say which chapter it goes under (P L A N E T), with each letter standing for whatever each of us want it to stand for.

amiyesiam 02-11-2011 12:05 PM
OK, just so I am clear:

we can do

1. 1 page per letter right?

That is what I want to do.

or we can just do a few pages or even just one page.


2. It has to be 8x11.5 or smaller

if it is smaller Pixie will mount them? (so she has some uniformity?)

3. Think it is awesome Pixie will post book on line!!!

4. People remember to sign (user or real) your work on the FRONT
so people know who did what!!!

Maybe we give Pixie permission to put usernames on those that forget
unless you specifically say you don't want your name on yours. Did that make sense?

Hi everyone! Thanks for the info.....We were talking over tonight the approach we would take for this project, and we have some questions...We hope this is still open for discussion too....We mean this in a good way, and we are not trying to second guess anyone.....But, it dawned on us that say you have ten people participating with one page each times six letters (that's not including the calculations of those that chose not to do all six letters) you are looking at 60 pages to bind....And it doubles and triples incrementally when you add two or more pages per person etc....

The bind it machines do only 20 pages at one time....You wouldn't be able to fit all the chapters in one book....So, does this mean you are taking the 8.5"x11" pages and gluing them into a larger artist sketch pad that accomodates a maximum of 180 pages at least?

not everyone wants to do 6 pages

and wez don't know how the magical Pixie is going to do it

We sawz datz.....But my scientific brain went into calculator mode, and datz why we are asking....A mini-book of 6 pages (which is more like 12 pages front and back) done by hand is a task in itself....And this dear friend, is a ginormous book....I guess we are asking folks for their suggestions too for Pixie to consider....

Diva 02-12-2011 08:08 AM
Personally speaking.....

I have decided to do one page of each letter....that works for me. I know it doesn't work for everyone.

It's all good, though, right?

What if everyone did a page for all six letters and each person’s six pages were bound together as a mini-book and then all ten mini-books were part of one auction item. OR everyone does a page for each letter and everyone's page for the same letter is bound together, so we'd have a mini-book for each P~L~A~N~E~T letter and they would all be one donation item?

I'm guessing that it would be more expensive and time consuming this way, but it would keep Pixie from having to deal with a massive number of pages at once. I want to help pay for the binding expenses, so Pixie, you'll have to let us know what you need.

The problem with doing the mini-books comes in with people who don't want to do all six letters. Do we have a count of who wants to do what? Maybe we should figure that out first?

I know that I would like to do all six.

OR maybe Pixie knows a secret way to bind the one large book together for us (Pixie's are like that sometimes!). :sparklyheart:

Corkey wants to do at least 3 pages E N T

(Corkey has been sucked into the crafting black hole by me and lion paw and we have assured him that he never has to scrap/craft in pink LOL)
Seriously they are coming out with a lot more paper craft stuff with male/masculine themes. I think men like Tim Holtz have helped too.

We are also gonna go check out the hardware store for little metal things that we can use to craft.

Oh btw, Ami and Corkey we are on the lookout for things you might enjoy and masculine themed items too for Corkey...

lionpaw 02-12-2011 08:35 PM
Okay folks, here is the skinny....

Have you ever wanted to make your own homemade alcohol inks????....

We found a recipe on Youtube....

Here it goes.....

You will need:

1 bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol
1 bottle of liquid Rit Fabric Dye (color of your choice)
1 bottle (travel bottle from Walgreen's???) for the liquids

Pour 1/2 cup of 91% isopropyl alcohol into travel bottle
Add 2 tsp of Rit Dye color into bottle

That's it!

The only negative I have heard so far is that it produces more tint than color...But, one crafter recommended a textile dye instead....I researching on the textile dye....I will let you folks know what I find out...

lionpaw 02-12-2011 08:43 PM
Next tip....


Are you tired of buying an itsy bitsy bottle of Adirondack alcohol blending solution?


We have a recipe for that too!

You will need:

1 travel bottle (Walgreen's??)
1 bottle of ethyl rubbing alcohol 70% solution
alcohol inks of your choice

then add your alcohol ink onto that widget for the alcohol ink and a drop or two of 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol....


Rub on your glossy paper and you're done....

1. so what we need to know is "Do you want to do a page in each chapter?"


If 10 of us sign up and each do a page in a 6 chapter book
that would be 60 pages plus front and back covers, and possibly a chapter " " page for each chapter for about 68 pages. This is a lot of pages. Plus bulk from the art work.

Pixie can you bind all that together?


2. Do we want to do the PLANET Idea?
Do we want to chose for our selves what each letter is for or do we want to decide together what each letter stands for?

3. Gemme is right there has to be an edge to bind or it has to be smaller than the page in order to mount on a correct size page
You heard it here, folks.

I. Was. Right.

About something or other....:seeingstars:

Phonetics, maybe?

Ooooh, mini books.

:brightbulb:

I would like to do one page for every letter, if we are all set on doing PLANET for the chapters.

I want to make sure that whatever we choose to do, Pixie is not going to be overwhelmed with our contributions when she should be enjoying herself and working her own art.

I want to win the lottery.

I would like assist in the binding costs also.
