Accordion Fold
Family Bookmaking at the Julian Dixon Culver City Library!
It was wonderful to conduct a family bookmaking program at the Julian Dixon Culver City Branch Library, part of the Los Angeles County Library System!
Parents and children worked together to learn how to make and then create their own accordion fold books with simple one and two cut popups, inspiring each other, as well as myself and the Library Staff as they moved through the process.

On Butterfly Wings…
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!
The Merry Month of May: Butterflies!
