Be My Valentine at the Canoga Park Library
February 14th, 2024, was a sweet day at the Canoga Park Branch Library!
A group of wonderful and creative participants joined us for “Valentine’s Day Bookmaking”.
Using the accordion fold and sized covers, they created colorful books to which they added stickers, collaged images, drawing and writing, and love!
This program was part of my artist residency “We Write the Book” at the Canoga Park Branch Library, supported by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs!
Hearts galore!
Librarian extraordinaire Marcia Melkonian helps our participants, along with their exemplary caregivers.
Creativity in action.
Gina, an accomplished artist and supporter of our program sets up her own creative space.
The caregivers get into the act.
Lending a helping hand.
The talented Hilary loves orange.
All of Hillary’s elements work together to create a cohesive whole.
It is fascinating how she used the orange-striped washi tape, and extended the pattern upward to create what looks like a fence. Everything os orange color-coordinated.
Then, she added the calendar image of a pinky orange sunset to the top, to complete the scene.
Completed book, with ribbon!
