Hello Artists!
Join us for our meeting Thurs. Nov 19, 2026 from 2pm to 4pm. After our business meeting, we will have Gail Hollinger lead us in making a lotus book.
Bring glue stick and the copies from below. (Copies free from library.)
Please read her instructions below:
"I'd like to do a lotus book with everyone, but that means people will need to do a little homework. However, the results will be that everyone takes home a book with content.
"Homework" for your Lotus Book:
- Please download the attached file for your lotus book.
- In the square, do a drawing of something for which you are thankful, or some fall or Thanksgiving themed image. You can include words and poetry if you wish. It can be color or black & white, depending on your printing system.
You can draw outside the square, but the square should contain your main image.
If you want to use the entire space (above the "cut here" line), you can, but the image will be divided by fold lines. In that case, don't use the downloaded format, just use the top 8.5 inches of a piece of 8.5"x11" paper. Your image must fit in the 8.5x8.5 square.
3. Please make at least 25 copies on regular copy paper. LIBRARIES DO FREE COPIES.
4. After they are printed, cut off the bottom portion of each page so you are left with an 8.5"x8.5" square. (With your art in the bottom 4x4 right corner.)
5. When everyone arrives, we will distribute copies so that each one of you has a complete set.
6. We will all fold our pages into a lotus format and assemble them into individual books.
7. I will bring supplies to make covers for the books.
- This will be fun and you will leave with a great memento of the work of all your friends!
