Bridger Mountain Scribes will meet in March a week later than usual, so be sure to mark your calendars: Monday, March 17 from 2-4 PM. We’ll meet in the Cottonwood Room at the library, as usual.
Beth will teach a script and we will make a simple but somewhat unusual book.
I’ll bring the text pages, exemplar, and book instructions. I will also bring the required materials for the spine: small strips of bookcloth, Asian paper, and spine stiffener.
Please bring:
- A pencil or colored pencils, for drawing our letters.
- Six to twelve words that relate to one another: we’ll write one word on each 8.5″ x 5.5″ book page opening. These words could be a list of nouns, adjectives, etc; words from a poem, or a six-word saying, or … you get the idea. If you can’t keep it to 6 words, try 12 (you’ll write 2 words per page). Come prepared with your words.
- Two cover papers at least 6.5″ x 9.5″ — grain long, i.e. bending more easily parallel to the 9.5″ sides. If you can’t figure out the grain, bring paper that is at least 9.5″ square 🙂
- Two endpapers, at least 8.5″ x 5.5″ — grain short, i.e. bending more easily parallel to the 5.5″ sides. Same thing here: if you can’t figure out the grain, bring paper that is at least 8.5″ square.
- Craft knife and cutting mat.
- Ruler at least 12″ long with a metal edge for cutting against.
- Bone folder (or fingernail).
- Glue stick (UHU or similar)
- A few sheets of waste paper for gluing.
Please RSVP to let us know who’s coming. I’ll prepare enough text pages, exemplars, and book instructions for all who respond.
