Our October meeting took place on Saturday October 23rd with seven members 'zooming' in for our quarterly creative catch-up and book swap on the theme of 'Quirky'. Once we'd established how 'Quirky' was actually spelled... and that it was quite a different thing from 'twerking'!! - we showed off our exchange books. Below is a selection of some of them.
Margaret Beech used an ingenious fold-flat tower structure for her 'King of the Castle' book:
Margaret also showed us examples of her latest projects - a shutter card and Revolving Cubes structure.
Pat Duncan created a cast of topsy-turvy characters with hundreds of different possible combinations:
Janet Barnett was inspired by the tiny creations of artist Dominic Wilcox (you can see his work in motion here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9A9X15ysdZ8&list=PLCwsDkgbo0qwKF8NFUR9oEeA82ckvm1Rt&index=1)
Mari Harrison focused on the fabulous letter Q - and even included us in her lexicon:
and Ruth Rowland's book explored a range of quirky folds using a range of A4 papers which combined to create an original story:
Janet Ashmore created a 'Quirky Rainbow' cascade - and managed to get a good photograph of it despite its incredible length!
As always, seeing how people interpret the theme in so many diverse ways is fascinating!
Looking forward to seeing where our papercraft travelling might take us...!
Looks like another great meeting with some lovely books. Sorry I missed it but looking forward to January. Jill
