Get your creating minds a working! This project will surely be fun! Design something that is 90% paper and 10% of a material of your choice. Paper can be, paint chips, craft paper, recycled paper, etc. Your extra material might be; buttons, beads, string, yarn,fabrics, charm, etc. Just be mindful of the weight of your extra, could cause extra postage.

Your end project should be at least 3" x 5", but no bigger than 5"x6". It can be in any shape, but must be flat. You will need to work a "sun" into it some how. This is the summer project! The sun can be something tiny or a main focal point. Your pieces can all be the same or all different.

After sign ups are closed, we can discuss how many pieces we will make. ** will be a min of three with a possibility of 5, for those who want to start

I ask that after you complete your little piece of art work, that you sign and date it somehow!

Open sign-ups, start now, thru Aug 2nd.
Construction of your art, Aug 3 thru Aug 20
Mail by Aug 21, $5.00 for postage
Turn around after all have been received, 4 days.

If you need ideas, Google , paper mosaics or check Pinterest .

"For 2015, the rule is if one of us is more than a week late or drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2016. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project."

Sign ups are over, let the gluing begin! Looks like we have 7 crafters. And most of us have suggested we make one for each. So, refer back to the above guidelines. Any shape as long as it fits with in the size perimeter. 90% paper, and 10% of a different material. It's a summer project, please place a sun somewhere on your project. Can be itty bitty or your whole theme. We should be finished by 20th, to get them in the mail by the 21th. I'll send out my address in about 10 days. You know the sooner the better!
Have fun, and try out new techniques and products!
