Santa Monica.

Come prepared to make a binding with Charlene Matthews that has been
traced back over 600 years. It consists of blank signatures, sewn
through a limp spine and spine plate. We will make a layered
decorative/ sewn limp binding and decorate a spine plate before sewing
the spine together. This binding can be adapted to many materials, but
we will concentrate on the many beautiful papers Hiromi has to offer.
This binding works well for diaries, photo albums, and collage
scrapbooks. Charlene Matthews Bindery, based in Los Angeles has been
in operation since 2000. Charlene provides a full range of bindery
services, including fine bookmaking, book and art restoration/repair,

I didn't notice this discrepancy myself, so I'm sorry for the
confusion. The workshop was originally schedule for the 14th, but has
been moved back to the 7th. I have asked Hiromi to correct its website.

Making paper waterproof--and writable

Sally Ramsey, founder of Ecology Coatings, jerry-rigged an apparatus in
her lab to show a chemical company representative how rapidly one of
Ecology's coatings dries when exposed to ultraviolet light.

To avoid making a mess, she put a piece of paper underneath the object she
wanted to spray.

When cleaning up, Ramsey exposed the paper to UV light to dry it and make
it easier to throw away. On a whim, she checked to see if the coating,
which was enhanced with nanoparticles, made the paper impervious to
pencils or ink.

News.context

What's new:
Nanotechnology start-up Ecology Coatings says it has developed a spray-on
coating that, when properly dried, waterproofs materials--but still allows
them to be written on.
Bottom line:
Ecology Coatings says it is talking with chemical companies about using
the coating to waterproof a range of products, from address labels to
sporting equipment to shoes.

More stories on this topic
"For a minute, I was really disappointed. I could write on it all over the
place," she said. "Then something clicked."

It turned out that the coating, in combination with the makeshift
apparatus, made the paper waterproof without making it waxy, brittle or
changing its other characteristics. The original piece of paper has been
submerged in water since June 6. It hasn't dissolved and Ramsey's original
writing is still on it. She once even took it out of the water, wrote on
it some more, and submerged it again.

"It was kind of a 'MacGyver-ish' sort of thing," she said, referring to
the 1980s TV series about a scientifically resourceful secret agent. "It
turns out also that the paper greatly slows down the growth of mildew."

Although the process is in its infancy and the competition in industrial
chemistry is fierce, Akron, Ohio-based Ecology believes the process could
lead to shipping labels and tags impervious to the elements, eliminating
the need for separate plastic coverings or for the somewhat expensive
waterproof paper tags on the market today.

But that's just a start, say Ramsey and Ecology CEO Rich Stromback, who
are already talking to chemical giants about how to bring the material to
market. They say the process can be used to spray a waterproof, writable
surface on sleeping bags, sporting equipment, shoes, volleyball nets and
other items.

Potentially, the material could also get incorporated into building
materials and compete against materials like Tyvek, the water- and
puncture-resistant material that contractors and others gobble up by the
square mile.


"I've put it on canvas. I've put it on knit material. I've written with a
Sharpie, with a pen, a pencil," said Ramsey. "The world is full of things
you could put this on."

Plastics, coatings and other industrial materials have emerged as the test
beds for the nanotechnology industry. Early nanotech products include
stain-resistant pants, golf balls that correct for a hook or a slice, car
panels and lighter bike parts.

What makes these nano-enhanced products superior to conventional products,
advocates say, is that a sprinkling of atoms can serve to enhance a
feature. Fewer atoms mean less weight and fewer alterations to the overall
integrity of the final product. And instead of needing wires, a plastic
part can conduct electricity by adding nearly invisible carbon nanotubes.


"If you look at the nano success stories to date, they are all in
composite materials and coatings," said Matthew Nordan, an analyst at Lux
Research.

Although it only has two employees, Ecology has distinguished itself from
the pack of nano start-ups to some degree by cutting licensing deals for
its quick-drying, ultraviolet light-activated paint substitute with Red
Spot, an automotive equipment specialist, and with DuPont.

"There are innumerable nanotechnology companies that would kill to get the
kind of validation these guys have gotten in a very short time," Nordan
said. Still, the company faces major economic and technical challenges in
moving its products from the lab to actual production, he warned.

How it works
What is the secret sauce behind the company's waterproof paper? Ecology is
somewhat vague on that. The coating is a version of the company's
UV-curable material. The lab apparatus affects the material in such as way
that the coating actually permeates the paper, rather than just forming a
layer on top, like a typical coating.

"The apparatus sort of hurls it into the paper," said Ramsey. "It gives
the drops some interesting momentum."

Patents on the chemicals and the process are currently being sought.
Nonetheless, Stromback added that the process will likely scale to mass
production and not require unusual machinery.




Previous Next "There's nothing that we see that is prohibitive in terms of
the process," he said. "The technique can easily be put into place on
existing paper production lines."

Stromback added that industrial users may be able to incorporate the
material into other products within 18 months to two years. Ecology
doesn't engage in manufacturing on its own at the moment, but licenses
ideas to established chemical concerns.

Ideally, waterproof paper and labels produced by this process will be far
cheaper than today's counterparts. Manufacturers today produce waterproof
labels, but it requires embedding polypropylene fibers in paper. The
process is expensive but also makes the paper waxy and tough. (Those
rubbery parking tickets given out by some cities are made of such
material.) Ecology claims its process will cost about 500 times less
because ordinary paper can be used.

Additionally, because paper manufacturers coat the paper they produce
today, their chemical budget will stay roughly flat because they can
substitute the new coating for the old one.

Although the coating prevents mildew growth, Ramsey asserted that the
material does not likely pose a health hazard. No toxic materials or
fungicides were added. Mildew inhibition may come from the fact that the
paper can't get moist.

"This was a very happy accident," Ramsey said.

       <http://www.redcross.org/>
       Dear Fellow Floridian,

       Now is the time to stand together and show those experiencing the
unimaginable chaos of Katrina's aftermath that they will not be left behind. If
you haven't already done so, please give what you can<http://www.redcross.org/>
to assist the victims of this horrific storm.

       The Red Cross<http://www.redcross.org/> is working around-the-clock to
coordinate the largest relief effort in their history. Your contribution will go
straight to those who need it most.

       What began in Florida as a Category 1 Hurricane moved into Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana as a storm of catastrophic proportions. Katrina left
nothing but unprecedented tragedy in her wake.

       News outlets continue bring us photographs and videos of these ravaged
coasts as the scope of the devastation is revealed by the light of day. Yet, in
the midst of these ruins, personal stories of courage and hope begin to surface.
The heroic acts of first responders, emergency workers and the everyday citizens
who offer others a helping hand in the worst of times, inspires us all.

       The coming days, weeks and months will test the spirits of those left
behind by this horrific storm as recovery efforts continue. Our neighbors
struggle to rebuild not just their homes, but their lives. The journey will be
long, but by working together, we will overcome Mother Nature's fury.

       As Floridians we are all too familiar with the devastating losses that
hurricanes can cause. In the past year, five have hurricanes made their way onto
our shores and each time our fellow Americans have come to our aid. So, too,
shall we rally to support those suffering from Katrina. With the victims of
Hurricane Katrina in our thoughts and prayers Sha and I ask you to visit

I am in the process of proposing a show of book art at the Artist Union Gallery
in Ventura, California. It would help the gallery committee to make a decision
if I can include pictures. They seem to be most aware of smaller work in codex
and accordion, and their variations. I would like to show them larger works,
architectural forms, and so on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings artist friends!

No experience necessary for this non-toxic course. All materials provided
and it is very easy to do.

"Safe Printmaking with Solarplate" begins this coming Saturday, September 24
at 12:30 Sharp. $40 (material's fee) is payable at enrollment which happens
within the first 15 minutes of class.

The Printmaking for Book Arts class scheduled for Friday afternoons did not
fill, so I am offering a book project for all interested Solarplate Class
members toward the end of this course. The Safe Printmaking class is 9 weeks
long (had been 8 weeks in the past) so there is plenty of time.

Please be prompt. Adult Ed is under the gun from the State to prove that
their classes are in demand in our community, and will be visiting classes
frequently to do headcounts. This means a class could be cancelled any time
there are less than 10 students present. This has not been a problem in Safe
Printmaking with Solarplate in the past, but we must be vigilant.

I am back from travels in France and Canada with lots to share. Elaine
LeVasseur will be in class, by the press, making sure students have all the
help they need inking plates and getting perfect prints every time.

Both Jill Littlewood and Ines Monguio have done some significant
experimenting in this class with fabulous results. Come on and check it out.

Hope to see you there.

Sara Norquay

Greetings Artists and Friends.

In response to the disappointment expressed by the seven people who did come
to enroll in my Adult Ed Printmaking for Book Artists class, I am offering a
four week class at another location. Please see the flyer pasted below.

Sara

No Place for a Poet at a Banquet of Shame
by SHARON OLDS

[from the October 10, 2005 issue]

For reasons spelled out below, the poet Sharon Olds has declined to attend the
National Book Festival in Washington, which, coincidentally or not, takes place
September 24, the day of an antiwar mobilization in the capital. Olds, winner of
a National Book Critics Circle Award and professor of creative writing at New
York University, was invited along with a number of other writers by First Lady
Laura Bush to read from their works. Three years ago artist Jules Feiffer
declined to attend the festival's White House breakfast as a protest against the
Iraq War ("Mr. Feiffer Regrets," November 11, 2002). We suggest that invitees to
this year's event consider following their example.--The Editors

Laura Bush
First Lady
The White House

Dear Mrs. Bush,

I am writing to let you know why I am not able to accept your kind invitation to
give a presentation at the National Book Festival on September 24, or to attend
your dinner at the Library of Congress or the breakfast at the White House.

In one way, it's a very appealing invitation. The idea of speaking at a festival
attended by 85,000 people is inspiring! The possibility of finding new readers
is exciting for a poet in personal terms, and in terms of the desire that poetry
serve its constituents--all of us who need the pleasure, and the inner and outer
news, it delivers.

And the concept of a community of readers and writers has long been dear to my
heart. As a professor of creative writing in the graduate school of a major
university, I have had the chance to be a part of some magnificent outreach
writing workshops in which our students have become teachers. Over the years,
they have taught in a variety of settings: a women's prison, several New York
City public high schools, an oncology ward for children. Our initial program, at
a 900-bed state hospital for the severely physically challenged, has been
running now for twenty years, creating along the way lasting friendships between
young MFA candidates and their students--long-term residents at the hospital
who, in their humor, courage and wisdom, become our teachers.

When you have witnessed someone non-speaking and almost nonmoving spell out,
with a toe, on a big plastic alphabet chart, letter by letter, his new poem, you
have experienced, close up, the passion and essentialness of writing. When you
have held up a small cardboard alphabet card for a writer who is completely
non-speaking and nonmoving (except for the eyes), and pointed first to the A,
then the B, then C, then D, until you get to the first letter of the first word
of the first line of the poem she has been composing in her head all week, and
she lifts her eyes when that letter is touched to say yes, you feel with a fresh
immediacy the human drive for creation, self-_expression, accuracy, honesty and
wit--and the importance of writing, which celebrates the value of each person's
unique story and song.

So the prospect of a festival of books seemed wonderful to me. I thought of the
opportunity to talk about how to start up an outreach program. I thought of the
chance to sell some books, sign some books and meet some of the citizens of
Washington, DC. I thought that I could try to find a way, even as your guest,
with respect, to speak about my deep feeling that we should not have invaded
Iraq, and to declare my belief that the wish to invade another culture and
another country--with the resultant loss of life and limb for our brave
soldiers, and for the noncombatants in their home terrain--did not come out of
our democracy but was instead a decision made "at the top" and forced on the
people by distorted language, and by untruths. I hoped to express the fear that
we have begun to live in the shadows of tyranny and religious chauvinism--the
opposites of the liberty, tolerance and diversity our nation aspires to.

I tried to see my way clear to attend the festival in order to bear witness--as
an American who loves her country and its principles and its writing--against
this undeclared and devastating war.

But I could not face the idea of breaking bread with you. I knew that if I sat
down to eat with you, it would feel to me as if I were condoning what I see to
be the wild, highhanded actions of the Bush Administration.

What kept coming to the fore of my mind was that I would be taking food from the
hand of the First Lady who represents the Administration that unleashed this war
and that wills its continuation, even to the extent of permitting "extraordinary
rendition": flying people to other countries where they will be tortured for us.

So many Americans who had felt pride in our country now feel anguish and shame,
for the current regime of blood, wounds and fire. I thought of the clean linens
at your table, the shining knives and the flames of the candles, and I could not
stomach it.

Sincerely,
SHARON OLDS

Manhattan Beach Creative Arts Center Features New Exhibition
"Booked Up, Boxed In, Papered Over"
Sept. 30-Oct. 28
Opening Reception Sept. 30 at 7 p.m.

The Cultural Arts Division of the Manhattan Beach Parks & Recreation
Department will present a new exhibition titled, "Booked Up, Boxed In, &
Papered Over." featuring, among other things, art books, transformed paper,
and sculptural boxes, from Sept. 30-Oct. 28 at the Manhattan Beach
Creative Arts Center (CAC), 1560 Manhattan Beach Blvd. Gallery hours
are Tuesday & Thursday 2-6 p.m., Wednesday 2-8 p.m., and Saturday 1-5 p.m.
Admission is free. An opening reception with the artists will be held on
Friday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m.
The exhibition will feature six South Bay artists: Betz Salmont, Trish
Lange, Sue Poindexter, Judy Schuster, Pam Weber, and
Charlotte Marshall. The artists are members of a Manhattan Beach
"studio" group calling themselves the "Bookies" which meets once a month
to create, teach, and learn various decorative one-of-a-kind art book,
paper, and container projects (including boxes, portfolios, and photo albums).
The show will feature a sampling of their most interesting and unique
creations from the past ten years. A series of classes taught by the
artists is also planned during the exhibition. And there will be a
silent auction of hand made purses during the reception.

"Altered Words" is a twice-yearly print publication for the members of
the International Society of Altered Book Artists (ISABA).  The winter
issue will concentrate on Altered Books as Journals.  We use journals
to express our emotions and experiences.  As artists, we use them to
experiment, explore new techniques, and capture ideas for future work.
  Journals can facilitate the creative process as well as become tools
for emotional healing.  What does the word "journal" evoke for you?
We will be accepting art submissions through October 10, 2005.  Mail

From:    Tammy Powley <janine@...>
Subject: sources: scrapbbooks, memory, women

Hi,

I'm researching a topic related to memory-art (scrapbooks, altered books,
and journals) with sort of a feminist angle. I'm looking for academic
sources relating to memory, memory-art - i.el scrapbooks, etc., women and
memory (as in women working as memory archivists), and any sort of
combination that relates to my general topic. Since memory-art is related
to book art, I thought some list members might have some suggestions. Thanks.

From:    Meredith Arnold <marnold@...>
Subject: Re: pasta amchine printing

FYI - there are two ways to print using a pasta machine!

   One is as described by Alice using polymer clay to make the printing
plates.

   Some more specifics on that:    Bake the polymer clay in a craft dedicated
oven using an oven thermometer (for safety sake) at approx. 265-275 degrees
for 30 minutes per 1/4" thickness or follow the manufacturer's instruction
for baking. Baking higher than 300 degrees with most brands of polymer clay
will result in creating terribly toxic fumes that you do not want to
breathe.

   The second way is to use the pasta machine as a printing press for
monoprinting, etc. This process entails inking or painting a carrier surface
then sandwiching face to face with the surface to be printed. For example,
applying paint or slow drying ink onto glossy cardstock or acetate film and
then sandwiching that to a piece of paper (all cut to size to run thru the
pasta machine), add some string in between the layers if you want, and then
running the sandwich through the pasta machine. Peel the layers apart and
you have a print. There are lots of variations on this theme including using
resists like thermally activated embossing powders on the carrier sheet or
the piece to be printed to create patterns before inking or after the first
color has been run and then applying a second color, etc.

Have fun!

*****************

October: Pumpkins

It's that time of year, when pumpkins signal both the harvest and Halloween. I
know fall is here when I see the bright orange globes at the farm stand. And I
look forward to Halloween pumpkin carving. I love the process of selecting
pumpkins: do I want a round Cinderella pumpkin or a tall skinny one? Or should I
give that truly weird looking one a home? Carving the pumpkin is a true joy.
After all the careful, slow work I do on my artwork, it's such a treat to poke
that knife in and quickly carve away.

Here are some book projects you can do about pumpkins.


****************

Pumpkin Seed Design Book
Use the directions for the accordion book at
http://www.makingbooks.com/accordion.html
You will need:
Paper for the pages (1 long piece to be folded into fourths)
Cover and tie are optional
4 pieces of clear contact paper a little smaller than the size of the folded
pages
Pumpkin Seeds

The Accordion Book has four pages, covers, and a tie. You can simplify the
project by leaving off the cover and tie. Use orange or black paper for a
Halloween feel and brown or orange for harvest. Recycled grocery bags will also
work well. The pumpkin seeds can be used plain or roasted for a darker color.
The roasting wouldn't work for me; I couldn't resist eating all the seeds.

Peel the backing off the contact paper and compose a design on the sticky side
with pumpkin seeds. You can make faces, geometric designs, or pictures. Remember
that your design will be reversed when you place it on the paper. Place the
contact paper on one of the accordion pages and smooth down. The tackiness of
the contact paper will hold the design in place. You can also use glue but it
will take more skill. Make sure the glue is dry before you move the book.

Variations:
Fold the paper into an accordion. Cut the bottom and top to make a pumpkin
shape. Do not cut the sides or else you will have four individual pumpkins
instead of a book. I make pattern for the kids to trace. I always make the
pattern a little bit wider than the folded pages so that they can't trace around
the sides. Use the pumpkin seeds to make faces.

Color the pumpkin seeds before making the designs.

If you are studying symmetry, have the children make symmetrical designs.

Set requirements for the designs: they must be made with an even or odd number
of seeds, multiples of 2, 3 , or 5, etc.


******

Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Book
Use the directions for the hot dog booklet at
http://www.makingbooks.com/hotdog.html
The Hot Dog booklet is a simple book made from one sheet of paper. You have a
front and back cover and six interior pages. You can use one interior page for
each of the six stages: seed, sprout, vine, flower, green pumpkin, orange
pumpkin.

There are some simple drawings at
http://atozteacherstuff.com/printables/pumpkin_lesson.pdf
If you cut around the pictures (leave off the words), you can glue them to the
pages of a book made from 8 1/2" x 11" copy paper. Or better yet, have the
children draw their own.

Beyond Decoration has just arrived at Oak Knoll!

First edition. John Everett Millais is admired as one of the most celebrated
of Pre-Raphaelite painters. Perhaps less known is the major contribution he
made both to book and periodical illustration between 1852 and 1883. Many of
these book illustrations remain little known today, largely due to the fact
that they are scattered in hundreds of 19th century books and periodicals.
This important new work brings together over 300 examples of Millais
illustrations, enabling this part of his work to be viewed and appreciated
by new generations. This work will be an important reference to any scholar
interested in Victorian book illustration.
             Paul Goldman was a curator in the Department of Prints and
Drawings at the British Museum. He is the author of Victorian Illustrated
Books 1850-1870 - The Heyday of Wood-Engraving (British Museum Press, 1994)
and Victorian Illustration - The Pre-Raphaelites, The Idyllic School and The
High Victorians (Scolar Press, 1996). Co-Published with the Private
Libraries Association and The British Library. Sales rights North and South
America. Available in June 2005.

2005, hardcover, 7 x 12 inches, 337 pages

ISBN 1584561351, Order No. 076550, Price $65.00
