Five of the Seven
Flying Pictures Project Journals
(This photo would have been much better had Robyn taken it in her Italian back yard!)
In the Spring of 2008, I invited three web friends in distant countries to help me plan a traveling artist's journal project. Our group eventually became seven artists on three continents united in our desire to have fun and exchange art and we launched The Flying Pictures Project. Now the project journals,( unfortunately not the participants), will be united for a display at the Oak Park Public Library. I'll be speaking about our process, fun and art work Thursday evening November 12 at 7PM at the Oak Park Public Library. The journals will be on display for the month of November and you can see them up close on the night I'm speaking. They are really beautiful in person. The photos do not do them justice!
I'll also discuss how anyone can start a journeling project and demonstrate how to make a simple pamphlet journal. With very simple tools and daily paper ephemera anyone, even people without art training, can create a rich, satisfying visual journal.
For information about other events at the library you can look at the November calender here.

There's nothing wrong with your photo, Lindsay.
I'm so excited you have arranged an exhibition of our books - now I'd like you to find a way to record your talk as a podcast to share with a wider audience. You know that saying: If you want something done, ask a busy person. ;)
Well, I can see you are appealing to my vanity....I'm not ready for Prime Time (or You Tube hahaha)yet. But it is an interesting idea. I'll be posting the pamphlet tutorial soon though....that may be the closest I get to going public with that talk!
Wish I could be there to hear you speak about this incredible confluence! Bravo on all your efforts!
Thanks for the support Pam! I'm a teacher but I still have a bit of jitters about the presentation!
Some one asked if I'd pod cast my talk.....too much exposure for me..heheh
I'll be posting instructions for my simple journal soon but you probably already know how to make one.
