On Butterfly Wings…

By

Our beautiful participants took flight as they learned how to create a “Butterfly Book” to celebrate the beauties and joys of Springtime!

This workshop was part of my Artist Residency a the Canoga Park Branch Library called, “We Write the Book”,  supported  by the wonderful Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.




They were encouraged to add ribbons in honor of May Day, referencing the ribbons flowing from the traditional May Pole, and held onto as folks danced around it to celebrate!





            
An inspiring time was had by All!

Making Fantastic Flag Books at the Canoga Park Branch Library

A special group of adults learned to create the fun and fabulous Flag Book structure at the Canoga Park Branch Library in honor of Earth Day, Poetry Month and Springtime!
After The participants worked through the step by step process to “build” the book, then added flower stickers and other collage materials, in essence “festooning” their books with design, color, texture and springtime beauty, and enjoying the glory and agency of adornment.
