Pixie has a great idea about smaller things could be mounted on a larger page for a book!


Pure P idea about each person contributing a page to each chapter in a book is great!
She also asked a great question: If this is for the reunion do we want it to have a planet theme in the book?

Gemme wants us to choose democratically!


I would like for the regular pen palers to respond with their ideas too.

I realllly like the idea of doing just a few pages or a short chapter in one larger book. I also reallllly like the idea of one person collecting and putting together said book so it doesn't get lost in the mail.

Do we want to start it now or do we want to do it as say a june, july, aug project? It doesn't matter much to me. If I could have the pages/themes sooner than later, it would be awesome.

What size do we want it to be? square rectangluar , big, med or small? Doesn't matter to me. I can work with whatever size/shape.

Do we each want to do a page or do we want to do the book thing and each do a "chapter" (2 or more pages). I kind of like the idea of everyone creating one page for a series of chapters. It would be cool to see how everyone interprets the theme.

Some of you did the sketch book projects what can you tell us about them? N/A

Input Peoples Input

we also need Ideas about how we want to theme it!!

there are no bad ideas so share YOURS

there are no dumb questions so ask them(ya know someone else wants the answer too)

Morning coffee in hand...:bringcoffee::coffee: 2nd Little Rock Reunion Razzle Dazzle Raffle Donation from our little corner of the world sounds exciting. Last year we did the basket type donation, so this is a new direction, and I love it.
MY BEFORE MY MORNING SWIM IDEAS BELOW:

Catching up on posts in the thread. What a great idea ****and all the others that followed. I love the stream of consciousness here. So, in Little Rock, or by ordering tickets from home if I didn't go, what would I like to buy raffle tickets for??? What would I like to pack in my suitcase coming home. AHH, yes, and AND that (((((( Pixie ))))))) has jumped in to coordinate the project.

Theme: Welcome to Our http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/6...bug_bigger.jpgNeighborhood
By
Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types on ButchFemmePlanet.com


A coffee table book. (8.5 X 11 bound)
Submission Deadline: August 1, 2011 .
From 1 to a maximum of 4 pages
(Gives pixie time to photograph, compile, organize, and post pics in Raffle Thread)

No Theme: Any media, craft style, art, that fits on something that can be bound and contained within an 8.5" X 11" cover. Artist's license =Geopgraphic, artistic or personal, private, or professional work from our worlds, all genre in one book. Flat or 3-D


We are geographically so diverse and exciting, could be auto-bio, fact or fiction, writing, drawing, painting, crafting, photography of us, who, what, where, when.

Pixie helped BIG TIME last year with the Raffle, and some lil input best I can recall. Wrap-up thoughts 2010 : This year the event will be held in the foyer so items may be seen prior to event. Tickets purchased and dropped early so we can draw names/numbers before the Ball, rather than during, and party hearty longer. And that handsome MC :) won't have to stand calling out names and pulling tickets ad nauseum , and get heckled from that certain Lady in the audience (can see her batting her eyes) ..Ahem .

That way people can handle, look, touch and smell things. We had 4 tables of prizes last year, and I am expecting it will be bigger this year.

Number 2, yes, Regular Projects Too, because, they are just fun to do...

Okay, going for a swim, .:shark: . (Laughing, that's the only swimming gizmo ) :jester: Then flying off to work:flyingmonkey: Bye4now.

I think that it would be good to do them the size of a regular sheet of paper and smaller....that way there is many different options in putting it together....so if its smaller than 8 1/2 x 11 it can still be adapted(matted) on to the bigger sheet.

Themes...hmmm

Life's Dynamics...leaving open to self interpretation
Puzzled.....what makes your puzzle come together....what are the pieces
Planeteers...(your stance in this planet, how you are connected with this family)

Shrug that's all I got!


Seeing that shrug above, and grinning, as I can see you now.

Off the topic of our exciting Reunion project (been loving our collective "think"!), I am wondering if it would be cool with y'all for me to wrangle a post secret project for our next round?

For anyone who does not know what I mean, the theme of it is to put secrets on postcards (funny, serious, personal, not personal, whatever) in this style:

http://www.postsecret.com

You would then send me the # of postcards of everyone who signs up minus yourself. All could be the same secret, or they could each be different secrets.

So nice to wake up and see people already signed up! How does due end of Feb sound? Also, you know you have the right address for me (I moved one year ago) if the one you have starts with "393" (That is the beginning of my current address.). Please put your current return address on your package.

Also, lionpaw, if you need more examples of what post secret is like, you can also look up http://www.photobucket.com and do a search for post secret/ postsecret.

And how about a sign-up deadline end of this weekend :)

Reunion Project
 
Ok....I think I'm caught up now......

~LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the idea of a BOOK of our art as a Raffle item.

~Love the idea of having different chapters in the book and we all contribute something to those chapters.

~Love the idea of the base being the same size and we go no larger than that size. (Did Pix say a regular sheet of paper size? Like that!)

~I think ONE person collecting all our art ~ rather than sending the book around ~ is BEST. I seem to remember a couple of those pass-around books from the dash site getting 'lost'......um.....No. And did I read that Pixie is volunteering to take on this task!? WOW! :wine: <~~for you, darling

~So.....how will the chapters be chosen? What about this........... 6 chapters:
Chapter I ~ P
Chapter II ~ L
Chapter III ~ A
Chapter IV ~ N
Chapter V ~ E
Chapter VI ~ T

And that gives us pretty free rein, huh? You likey? (Though I'm on with Pure's idea of using some of the sketchbook themes, too. Even though I might be a little "Happy Thought-ed" OUT! <giggle> )

And maybe, for the cover, the swirly round logo dead center? Just a thought....

What do the individual P-L-A-N-E-T letters represent? :cigar2:

LIke Chapter I ~ Personal

Chapter II ~ Love

Chapter III ~ Animals in our lives or ones we wished we had met :cigar2:

Leaving for work...will catch up later.
