Description:

Hello everyone! I am new to chunky books. I just found out about them through the forums, and I thought "what a wonderful idea!" One definition of chunky books is "Chunky books are collaborative artists books filled with original art, dangly charms, ribbons, fibers, fold outs, pop-ups, mysteries and surprises. (I've seen them called "tactile baby books for grownups".)" Examples can be seen at Hobby Loco or Robin's Blue Nest I plan to try to host several of these swaps. You will have 3 partners. You will make one page for each partner. Pages will be 6x6", decorated and chunky on the front, with something nice on the back (could just be pretty paper, but not just plain) and signed by you. I plan to use my book as something to help ground/soothe me when I'm anxious (I use texture regularly for this, and it helps! Usually I rub a necklace), so the theme this time will be "happiness". To standardize this, we will use cereal box cardboard, 2 pieces glued together for each page. Remember to cover your pages completely, nobody wants to look at "Cheerios", but remember to leave about 1 inch along the left edge that is decorated but not chunky so it is free for binding. Feel free to ask any questions....I'm new to making these too! Please do your best work, something that could help someone, or at least be nice to look at. I'm counting on this to build something therapeutic for myself, so no flakers! No newbies, rating of 4.85 or above, no 1's, no unexplained 3's

Hi, Is it only for USA? I am from Canada and would like to join... but quite unsure about the "Regional" definition. Thanks!

I don't suppose it would cost much more to ship these to Canada...I will make it for Canada too

The description says three partners but I only received 2 partners. Was it changed?
