LIBROS 2011–2012 Calendar
Saturday, March 3, 9am–12noon
Tunnel Books
Tunnel books are comprised of pictures/scenes layered onto accordion sides that create a three-dimensional theater/stage effect. They can be used to tell a story or show a landscape. Join Marilyn Stablein as she guides us to construct our own tunnel books.
If you participated in the 2012 Collaborative Book project (above), please bring your finished Valentine Box with you so we can all enjoy the final result (and take a few pics!).
Also, Ester Feske reports that she will be collecting books for the April exhibit at the Albuquerque Library at the March meeting.

Bookbinding Kit (PDF)
Don’t leave home without your bookbinding kit! Remember that many of our meetings are “hands-on” and the best way to learn new techniques is to try them yourself! Download our handy reminder list, and add your own notes about other tools you’d like to have.
