As you know I have a sincere but underdeveloped interest in making books. I have had a new one on my mind for awhile.<\/p>\n

It was this plus Maureen’s booth, and the fact that Nancy would go as well that sent me to the Book Arts Jam last Saturday.<\/p>\n

I had never been before and I found it to be a really interesting experience. I was expecting a PIQF<\/a> but with books experience.<\/p>\n

It was not like that at all. The show was much, much smaller and the people there were, mostly, selling their book art rather than selling supplies to make books. There were a lot of interesting shaped books and interesting sculptures made from books. I also saw some interesting supplies (mull was one) used to make books and related objects.<\/p>\n

The location was in Palo Alto at a community center and, in true Palo Alto fashion, the room was gorgeous.<\/p>\n

\"Maureen's<\/a>
Maureen’s booth at Book Arts Jam 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Maureen was there selling her postcards and doing fairly well. She had a simple to set up, but very effective for display, booth. She had cards displayed on the black slant board and then she had cards in the little baskets. Those in the basket were arranged by event, occasion and holiday. Very clever! She said that she had sold almost all the Hallowe’en cards before we got there (around 1:30pm).<\/p>\n

I thought it was an interesting experience. I kind of wish there had been some kind of exhibit of vendor’s art with more explanation. I was glad I went, because I had my eyes opened and my creative energy inspired. I was also glad to support Maureen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
