On Saturday, November 16th, 7 women gathered for round 2 of the Bookmaking Bonanza! I hosted my first Bonanza this spring and had such a great time, we added a fall version to wrap ou my workshop series at the Floyd Center for the Arts located in gorgeous Floyd, VA
We made 5 books is 5 hours including the Flower Fold Mini Book, the Accordion Mini Book, the Smash Book, the Photo Album Accordion Fold and the Japanese Stab Binding. These ladies nailed it…even the very challenging folds that make the Photo Album.
