Wow -- sounds like Val is ready to get the page done. I'm impressed.
GG summed up the chunky hanging stuff, and it can also include just ribbons, twine, yarn, wire....anything goes...
Susie -- I assume you want left edge binding, but I'm waiting on that.
Now we are just waiting for Pippin's theme.

Oh, Pippin, Cats is great!!! Do you want 8x8 or some other size? Which size for binding?
I'm excited about the different themes and mixed media.

8 by 8 is good, These I think I will bind into a book so left hand side clear of danglies please! I will use ribbon so you dont need to leave a clear margin, just nothing dangling!
ATC Guru
Excellent -- we have all the themes and sizes chosen.
Here's the first mailing schedule:
June 30, 2009
SusieTex sends to NYJunkie
NYJunkie sends to vwozniak
Vwozniak sends to goatgoddess
Goatgoddess sends to Pippin
Pippin sends to Monarch
Monarch sends to SusieTex
If at all possible, please mail the pages by June 30. It might be fun to scan and critique sketches, but that is optional.
I'm fairly new to Chunky pages, so this is going to be fun and a challenge for me. Also, using mixed media will be fun. I have to start thinking. Maybe I'll incorporate fabric with photos printed.

NYJ, you and I are chunky-challenged! It will be fun to try something different, I hope to incorporate some photos in mine as well...mix it up!!

Just a quick note: I will have a sketch for my first page posted by the end of the weekend. I have a 'mental sketch' done and just have to get it onto paper.
We are into June now, so I'm sure everyone is beginning to plan their first 'chunkie-ish' page.

I am at the mental sketch stage, too. Also doing some dyeing so I have the materials I will need.

Here's my Working Sketch for Funky Fish. The background will be shades of blue wool felted in sections. The fish will be different fabrics (not chosen yet); fibers for seaweed, fabric borders with holes for hanging 'stuff', and I'll probably use shells on the sea floor. I might use something for fishnet -- don't want to get it too cluttered, so it's not in the sketch.
I welcome comments and suggestions -- I'll probably start the background on Monday and may even find time to make some sketches for future pages.

I like your plan, nice sketch, it has a nice flow (love all the lines that arc).
ATC Guru
Val, thanks for the input -- 'cause this one's for you.
While I'm into fish I'm going to have to think about a Designer Fish --- humm --

Hello all, sorry been away for a while. Just to confirm, my pages are to be bound on the left hand side, thanks.
As far as designer fish go, you can choose to do anything with them, there will never be another fish like it, they will all be part of a unique collection. So if your fish is 'dressed' in a tiara and high heels! or dressed in designer 'grunge' it will be very welcome on my 'catwalk' or is that 'catfish walk'?
Of course the fish could be just shaped like a handbag or purse with scales and fins, it's still 'designer'. Does this help at all, or are you even more confused? LOL

I think I am even more confused now!!!!!
