Book Arts Fair is Sunday July 5, 1-5 at the Art School AMOA-Laguna Gloria, 3809 West 35th Street , 1:00-5:00 pm. We have Book Workers for many of the fun stations, and more welcome. 13 Book Workers are signed up through the Book Arts Meetup to bring new energy and new ideas to the veterans of many Book Arts Fairs.
UnderCoverFriends Book Swap in June provided an interesting assortment of books/zines which bodes well for the great unCovering at the Thursday, September 10, 6:30PM meeting at the food court at Dobie Mall.
"Over the Rainbow" August 1 theme with UnderCoverFriends. The 2nd book swap is due to Anne R. Taylor in Houston by August 1. Make 3, get 3. Sweet deal. contact: Anne R. Taylor
During the summer, instead of meetings, we swap books. Anne R. Taylor coordinates this summer. First book is due in June, second in August and we show off our books at the September meeting.
The swap is to send three of the same books and receive three different books in return.
The swap will be distributed (mailed) within the first week of June and August.
The size limit is to keep each book within 5 inches by 8 inches and ½ inch thick, otherwise more postage will be required.
We have content in our books. The content can be photos, calligraphy, quotes, rubber stamps, collage, a story, history, definitions, or a combination of all of
the above, which makes it interesting and a little bit of a challenge too.=0 D
Due on June 1: “Zine*”
Due on August 1: “Over the Rainbow”
No staple bindings please; stretch your binding skills.
Priority Mail postage under one pound is $4.95, so you can either send the $4.95 stamp or check (made out to Anne Taylor) in the amount of $4.95 or send $5 in cash. No change sent in the mail please. And if no postage, no mailing will be made until postage is received.
Anne Taylor, swap host - will send her address to the yahoo list before the swap deadlines. Or e-mail Anne at artaylor@comcast.net for the address to send your books. Join the yahoo group at artistbooks@yahoogroups.com for updated info.
There are no “sign ups” for the book swap. Send Anne three of your books to arrive by August 1st(theme “Over the Rainbow”), a Saturday, and you will receive three different books back from three different artists. There are no late arrivals; the books will be saved for the next exchange if they are received after the due date.
In September we meet and share all the items we've received over the summer. Don't miss the September meeting. See fresh books made within the last three months by Austin book artists and their exchange partners.
www.austinbookworkers.blogspot.com is our new web meeting place for information exchange, questions and answers, personal triumphs. If you have photos of your work, or workshops, processes, we can share them on our blog or on Flickr.com. Simply add “ Austin book workers” tags to your photos.
