Honolulu Altered Books Group May 2013

 

Aloha,

 

It's getting hot here in Honolulu as summer nears, and your art work is heating up as well.

 The books are getting fatter and heavier as this Round Robin continues. Just to review a couple of size changes in some books that were measured incorrectly.

#1 The All book should be 5 3/8"W x 8 1/4"H 

#2 The book of Secrets and Conspiracies should be  7 7/8" W X 9 7/8" H

#3Origins of Man should be 7 38" W X 9 3/16" H

Please make changes on your spread sheets.

   We are looking forward to the coming months to see what you talented artists will produce for

your assignments.

 

  Mahalo to Deb Z for letting us meet at Rubber Stamp Plantation every month. Be sure to check out her web page http://www.rubberstampplantation.com/
