Book making at the Mingei

What fun we had making beautiful books by simply folding and cutting paper!!

Thank you for coming out to family Sundays.  If anyone is interested in making books with a group of friends or at a children's party, just leave a comment  and I will contact you!

Lions and Zebras and Bears, oh my!!

New Books for the Mingei

Working away on books to sell at the Mingei Museum next week! Here are a couple:

Back to work!

Snow Day

It snowed in the mountains near us last week. But when we got there the snow had melted :(

 Of course you cant't go to Julian and not have some warm apple pie a la mode!!

Sunset drive home!

Drawing frenzy

Sometimes you just have to draw and draw and draw some more!!!

 There's a theme here...boats

 Big boats

 little boats

 more boats

 and home at last!

Making fun tape designs

The new rave is the washi tapes, fabric tapes and tissue tapes. I read an article about someone making their own designs on masking tape. So I gave it a try last weekend!

Then you just peel them off and use in your journal or as frames around photos!

Also working on some books!!

Family Sunday at the Mingei

Sorry I have not posted. I lost my password and it took forever to remember it. I could not get into my gmail account to retrieve it because I couldn't remember that password!!!!
Any way...this Sunday at the Mingei there will be a henna artist. Stop by!

A few images from the last event which was a blast.

 Happenings around the abode....
