Chunky Book 2008

Yesterday was our first chunky book gathering for 2008. I have been missing my chunky book friends so much!!! We gather approximately every 6 weeks and exchange 4"x4" art pages  ( o.k. we eat too!). We have been doing this now for 3 years!! The first meeting I had to kind of force folks to give a try and figured we would just do the 1 round, but before we had even finished exchanging pages they already wanted to make sure we were going to do this again.   Our theme for this CB was new years resolutions. I hate resolutions and tried so hard to get the topic changed! The  collage below, and the bird one from the previous post, were the front of my pages, I did 4 of each, and then the back I glued on all kinds of stuff from my junk pile that I was just tired of seeing, but was still keeping. My goal for this year is to get rid of stuff that I don't use or love, so that I can keep the stuff that I do love. ( that would be the stuff on the front!)

It turned out to be a great round-and as usual once we picked our next theme I couldn't sleep! Our next pages are based on a project by Sol Lewitt.
We made of list of items that must appear in our next page.  So, how similar do you think work from 8 different artist using the same "directions" is going to be??!  Along with this list we have to add one element that is our own. I am really looking forward to this challenge, and to our next CB gathering!

The elements:
1. triangle
2. five stripes
3. three circles in the lower right corner
4. four stars
5. doorway
6. famous floating head
7. goats
8. pink dot
