Here is my sketchbook (I left out a few spreads because this post was getting very long). There was a list of about 30 themes from which to choose ... I chose "I am a Scavenger" ... it seemed like a perfect fit! Like many people, I stuck to my theme. Other people didn't ... and that was OK. I felt pressure to fill all my pages (OK, I did glue a few together to give some "oomph" to a spread and also to use up a few pages!). Other people didn't ... and that was OK. You could do pretty much whatever you wanted as long as the final book was the original size. Some people took out all the pages and rebound in new ones. A couple people took out all the pages and put in one giant sheet that folded back up neatly to fit within the confines of the sketchbook cover. Someone asked me if all the books went on tour ... yep! They were all cataloged and arranged neatly on the carts. The staff was continuously pulling and shelving books the whole time I was there. They seemed pretty organized and I would guess that all the carts could fit in the back of a large box-style delivery truck.
I am glad to know they all go on tour!!Yours is great!! I like the space you created for people to leave something- it will be interesting to see if they will!!! When my son goes to see the exhibit, I will tell him to look for yours also (and maybe leave a little something!!!LOL)TFS
Hello! I'm Trina and this is the blog for The Paper Flea Market (which is becoming Jubilee Flea next month!) My online store and studio specializes in paper + fun old stuff. In addition to being a shopkeeper, I'm an artist and paper enthusiast. I adore paper and old things and see potential in everything. My artwork includes greeting cards, art journals, mixed media pieces and clever handmade home decor, and has been published in "Country Living", "Somerset Life", "Art Journaling" and "Greencraft" magazines. My cards were included in the book "1000 Handmade Greetings" and can currently be found at specialty boutiques across the country. I also sell my work at pop-up boutiques and flea markets. Please contact me for show dates and locations and for wholesale card orders at thepaperfleamarket@yahoo.com
