Gee Gee’s Book Club

 

As of last night Gee Gee’s Book Club has grown to seventeen fun loving, artistic ladies.  We are currently creating a Circle Journal.  Each month one person takes home a journal, creates a page, brings it back and passes it to another person.  Each page is completely different.  Check out the slide show to see this month’s pages.

    • Our current swap is a Prayer Flag swap. Check out The Prayer Flag Project for information and ideas. Here’s a couple of tutorials. Our only parameter is, finished flag should be 5x8”.
    • Our current passing project is a Circle Journal. Start with a 6x6 chipboard journal and do the first page with your preferred theme. Put your journal in a zip lock bag for protection. Add a note about your theme, favorite colors, favorite techniques, etc. The point of the note is to give the next person an idea of what you might like in your journal.
