Arts & Crafts Workshop #6, Camp Dining Hall, 06.26.06, Afternoon
The Tick grinned as the students walked in. "Just as a reminder, chums, next week will be a scrapbook review! Please try to get your books finished by by the time the workshop starts."
"This week, we'll be working on putting together a powerful friend. You'll notice that in front of you, you have four pieces of wood linked to a plank by tiny chains. If you look closely, you might notice that those pieces are arms and legs. If you look even closer to that, you might notice a face waiting to come out! Today you'll be bringing life to your very own Little Wooden Boy! Using the tools in front of you, you have to give him a face. Using the tools inside your head, you have to give him a name. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or-" Tick pulled a wooden figure of his own out from under the table, "- ask Little Wooden Boy IV!"
"This week for your scrapbooks, we're focusing on a certain phrase: 'you can't judge a book by it's cover.' While it's a reasonable saying for many things, it doesn't count in scrapbooks. In scrapbooking, the cover is the outer extension of everything that's inside! The cover should be as much a piece of art as anything on the inside. Mine is a simple blue, but if you look carefully you'll see a really keen antennae pattern in it. You don't have to get that detailed, but we need something for the front of the book that says your name in a non-literal fashion!"

Re: Scrapbooking! [WS6]
She then used some glittery fabric paint to put her name (in fancy, artsy-looking writing) on the front.
In the spaces above and below the letters, she used more fabric paint (in an assortment of colours), to draw different items that she felt represented her: bones, a bucket of glitter, a weetiny falcon (which she attempted, mostly successfully, to put some feathers on), two stick people holding hands to represent her and Sawyer, a book, a notebook, and a group of stick people talking while she sat off to the side, taking notes (she figured this could represent anthropology).
By the time she was done, she was exhausted. But the cover looked very pretty!
