Rhonda and I ducked out of the BAM Retreat<\/a> to attend the CQFA meeting. They are often conflicting at the moment, which is a challenge. I didn’t want to leave the retreat, however I have missed so many CQFA meetings that I felt bad about missing another. Since Rhonda was going, I decided to go for the meeting, but not stay for the workshop.<\/p>\n

Despite my perpetual To Do List item to make ATC<\/a>s, I didn’t make any. I wasn’t the only one. Poor Virginia had nobody with whom to exchange.<\/p>\n

\"Tea<\/a>

One of the most exciting things to happen to other guild is that there will be a show either in July 2017 or in 2018. The theme will be “In Conversation.” I immediately got a flash of an idea in my mind and drew it out in my journal. It is loosely based on a picture I took in Austria.<\/p>\n

The picture is just the start. I want to add in some hands. I don’t know the angle yet, though straight on sideways or straight from the top would be easier to draw. I do like the angle shown in the picture, but I don’t know if I can do it credible justice. My UFO list is creeping up, but I am excited about this project and wonder if I can get started on it and get it to a good point before I lose interest?<\/p>\n

Anyway. Show and Tell was awesome. I was especially inspired by Maureen’s book. She is in a collage group that meets once a week. She has been doing some great stuff in that group. In a recent meeting, she learned about a simple Japanese binding and made a book.<\/p>\n

The content\/pages are always a problem for me. How many journals does a person need? Maureen had a genius idea to use black and white drawings from a previous class.<\/p>\n
