In the afternoon, Pat Duncan led a workshop to create 'Shiori Ningyo' - traditional Japanese doll origami bookmarks.
As is often the case, both of these projects came from books made for swaps in 2019 - Judy's for 'Italy' and Pat's for 'Japanese Stab Binding'.
The book swap topic for this meeting was 'Precious Things' which, as always, members had interpreted in many different ways, creating books about seeds, concepts and principles, the alphabet, varied personal interests, family history and nature, with sewn, folded and tied structures, and even one book that rattled when shaken!
Susan Moor's Northumberland walking map book was inspired by John Ogilby's 'Britannica' map which can be viewed here: https://www.fulltable.com/vts/m/map/ogilby/mna.htm
Looking forward to the Spring and our next get-together!
Next meeting: Saturday 27th April
Swap topic: 'Fairy Tales'
