Meeting Minutes 13 Feb 2018
23 present (1 guest)
Welcome &
Announcements:
**Front Range Bible Institute will be meeting downstairs
next month so there will be more activity than normal in the building.
**No new nominations for Board Member were submitted. Pat
Schrabel motioned to keep the same board members for 2018 and Mary Rhodes
seconded the motion. All were in
favor.
**Candy and Cecelia will both be absent for our March
meeting due to surgeries. We wish them
well, and in the meantime, Kimmi will run the March meeting and Kim will
present the evening program.
**We were introduced to Cindy Sonnek who came for the first
time after meeting Kim at a library bookbinding class!
**Shelley brought canvas bags to stencil on for tonight’s
meeting for $3.00.
**There is one slot left for Jacqueline Sullivan’s workshop
the end of March called Luscious Layers, creating abstract backgrounds for
lettering. A supply list is available
from Cheryl.
**IAMPETH will be meeting Aug 6-11 this year in
Milwaukee. Registration opens March 17th.
**Bemis Art School is looking for teachers to teach 4-6 week
classes. Please contact Tara at Bemis for more information.
**We were reminded of our responsibility to fill Commonwheel
Gallery in Manitou this fall with original pieces to be hung on the wall and
available for sale. Any 3D pieces, such
as books, are encouraged.
**Kay came back for a surprise visit!! She thanked the guild for all the cards that
were sent to lift her spirits after leaving us last June. She is only one of two known calligraphers in
Grove, OK and has already taught one class on pencil Romans with the other
woman and they plan to teach more classes in the future. Perhaps they can get a guild started out there.
**Yves Leterme has a new 4-6 week on-line class on Romans if
anyone would like to look into that.
**Kim passed around backing and spine pieces to be covered at
home prior to next month’s book-binding presentation. She said silk ribbon is
an acceptable thread to use. Basic copy paper can be used for the sections.
Show & Share:
**Mary shared her paper-cut PEACE card done in an on-line
paper-craft class. She also had 3 cards
featuring paper weaving.
**Kimmi created a “Bird Lady” with reprints to sell at Commonwheel and shared another piece she plans to submit.
**Tom showed us a gorgeous hummingbird photo he digitally
manipulated.
Evening Presentation:
**Cecelia handed out copies of our guild logo in 2 sizes and
a corresponding sheet of freezer paper. We
were to tape the logo to the freezer paper and cut the logos out with an exacto
knife. We had a choice of black or white
fabric paint. Once we cut out the
stencil, we were to iron it onto our laundered fabric/apron/bag and after
making sure it was properly secured, we were to stipple the fabric paint
carefully over the stencil, being careful of the cut-out counter spaces. Once we were happy with the amount of paint
we had applied, we lifted the stencil off and left it to dry for 24 hours
before using a dry iron to heat set it at home.
It was a great project with an understanding for making our own stencils
in the future. Thanks, Cecelia!
