Projected expressions created by Diva's Heartless Valentines Day orchestra, crashing through the snow on a ....zooming down a runway and careening acorss the freeway, turnpike and delivering hike to the Wranglin' Composer in Austin.
Are we almost there?

I feel a song and a dance coming on
..

Time for a swim, then off to work for a lil while

nycfem · 01-28-2011, 10:01 AM

I ordered mine digitized too. We will have to clue each other in when our own digitized books go up! I'm thinking it will take awhile

I haven't even been informed that my book was received but I'm just assuming that they are wicked busy!

Awesome job, Diva!

Ebon and my Valentines will be hand delivered between now and the 4th.

purepisces · 01-29-2011, 12:26 PM

I sent my cards out to you today Ms. Diva!

purepisces · 01-29-2011, 12:35 PM

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing our own sketchbook project as an auction item for the Reunion?

We could pick a few themes and decide on a sketchbook (I would prefer to use the Moleskine watercolor sketchbook or something with a heavier stock of paper than in the Art House project) and anyone who wanted to could complete one and send it in. We could package them together in some cute way for the auction.

What do you think?

nycfem · 01-29-2011, 12:39 PM

Great idea! How about we all do a few pages in one book (i.e. send it around to each other till it's done)? Not that I'm lazy or anything. Well, maybe. Just a little.

amiyesiam · 01-29-2011, 01:14 PM

I like this Idea
but I fear the part about sending around anything book like (remember people)
and Like Jen says
a whole book might be overwhelming
but
what if we picked a size art paper (and we would all have to get the same paper as the base)
and each did a page or 2 (or more if one wants)
and sent them to one person (preferably someone going to the bash)
and that person bound them together somehow (lots of ways to do this)
and then it goes to the bash!

Ideas
we could pick an broad overall theme (we could even do a poll !!!!!!!!!!!)
and each person could do a "mini chapter" under that theme

we could have funs!!!!!!!!

I'm in, too! Great idea!!!

amiyesiam · 01-30-2011, 01:05 PM

So are we just going to do the bash project or are we going to do a monthly one also?

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

Do we want to start it now or do we want to do it as say a june, july, aug project?

What size do we want it to be? square rectangluar , big, med or small?

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)

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

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)

Pixie · 01-30-2011, 01:46 PM

Whew love you are on a roll!

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!

purepisces · 01-30-2011, 02:07 PM

I like the idea of doing a “book” where we all contribute a few pages. We could have one theme for the whole book or we could have chapters and have everyone contribute a page for each chapter.

If we wanted to gear it specifically for the reunion we could have chapters on: coming out, identity, acceptance, community, sexuality, family, etc.

Or we could do it more like the sketchbook project where you pick from a theme like:

I’m sorry I forgot you
Below the surface
A day in the life
Happy thoughts
Secret codes
Lines and grids
A record year for rainfall … etc.

I think it should be more than a monthly project. Maybe it’s something we can work on in the background of our regular projects. We’ll need to make sure we set a deadline that would give Pixie plenty of time to put the book together for us.

I think that we should choose the chapters in a democratic fashion and then all of us participating should do a page or so for each chapter. If we start soon, then we can do it over time, so it won't be so daunting a task.

We have 8 months if everyone wants to do a Reunion book.
