Arts & Crafts Workshop #7, Camp Dining Hall, 07.03.06, Afternoon

[OOC: Thanks for a great session! Class Info Post]

"Hello, students! Well, today is it! Your scrapbooks should be complete! Make any last minute changes you need to, then display them at the front of the room for us all to see!"

"At the end of the day, I'll announce the winner of The Tick's Best In Show Award and they'll get a neat trophy! Thank you all for a great seven weeks and have a keen rest of the summer!"

Put those finishing touches on your scrapbooks and talk with each other while doing so if you'd like!

"Finishing touches" for Sakurazaki means finding any white spots left and putting whatever she can find inside of them. Usually, it's either swords or hearts. Oddly, there are a lot of hearts. She also puts a few more notes down in Japanese here and there.

Jaye doesn't have that much to finish up on, so she doodles in the blank spaces. And then once she starts, she gets really involved in it.

Bridge adds a bunch of pictures to his scrapbook, since he'd missed the week where they'd done that in class on account of being a ferret.

Not completely happy with her scrapbook Maia hurried over to the blue glitter and using a very light coat of glue cast several hues of blue glitter on several pages. Smiling happily she announced it finished, at least to herself.

Kaylee adds a few more Chinese characters to some blank pages. There may be a few more drawings of flowers as well.

Tempe's scrapbook was mostly finished. A few more pages needed to be lightly dusted in glitter, and then she would be completely done.

This is it! The culmination of your work! Describe your scrapbook somehow. Photoshopped picture, links to previous scrapbooking threads, descriptive paragraph, whatever works.

The cover of Sakurazaki's scrapbook has been made to look like wood, with poorly drawn Japanese art prints on each cover. Mostly, though, it's about all the pictures (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/898056.html?thread=44709640#t44709640) she's taken, with doodles and decorations and notes in Japanese scribbled all around. There's a significant amount of writing...almost all of it in Japanese except the notes on the page everyone signed (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/906876.html?thread=45540988#t45540988) (which has been annotated in Japanese, though), and a page which is titled with big, non-glittery letters: "ENGLISH PAGE!" and has a poorly spelled quip describing Fandom in English.

Jaye makes hers into a presentation. "This is my scrapbook," she says. "The cover's orange, because I like orange, and inside I have a bunch of pictures. This whole part is just me making faces, because... just because. And this whole part is me taking pictures of random things in the halls. And ooh, some glitter just fell out. Sorry about the floor there. This is a picture of a caffeinated duck... And this is where everyone drew in it, and then today I was drawing things. This is a stick figure me, and a guy getting eaten by a shark, and then I played hangman against myself and lost, and then this is a shirtless volleyball game- everyone go to the beach party tomorrow omg- and this is a doodle of my Little Wooden Boy Dave. He's drinking a martini."

Maia's scrapbook was closed on the table in front of her scrapbook complete with it's Koala in the branches (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/872743.html?thread=41334567#t41334567) very easily recognizable. Of course the big Maia's Scrapbook Summer 2006 (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/881721.html?thread=42442553#t42442553) titled above the Koala bear might also be a distinguishing factor in identifying it to anyone passing by. The pages inside were filled with Pictures (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/889347.html?thread=43755523#t43755523) ranging from Purdue the wooden boy to making smores by the campfire outside the Koala Cabin.

Maia's signature pages (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/906876.html?thread=45552764#t45552764) were filled with signatures along with buttons, ribbons and little glittered spots wherever room allowed that wasn't filled with a message.

All in all, with the little bits of plants, rocks, stickers and other mementos Maia had collected over the summer, Maia's scrapbook was a success. It was so full that it didn't really close all the way shut anymore but sort of fanned out with all it's added little pockets of memories.

First, Kaylee shows off the pink, floral cover (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/914497.html?thread=46113345#t46113345). She makes sure to display the pretty picture (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/898056.html?thread=44723208#t44723208) of Serenity Cove she took with the camera as well as the pages everyone else (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/906876.html?thread=45560700#t45560700) drew on. Many of the pages have big shiny words (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/881721.html?thread=42227769#t42227769) all over them, too. The scrapbook very much fit Kaylee's cheerful personality.

Tempe's scrapbook was definitely a work of art. It sat there on its pedestal, looking all artsy and colourful.

Her cover (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/914497.html?thread=46096193#t46096193) was wrapped in fabric of three different colours: neon green, neon orange and neon pink. Her name was written diagonally across the front in glittery fabric paint, and the rest of the cover consisted of little pictures drawn with fabric paint. Each of these little pictures represented something about Tempe: bones (to represent her dream career of forensic anthropologist), a bucket of glitter (which kind of summed up a lot of what had happened this summer), a weetiny falcon, complete with weetiny feathery bits (to represent the stuffed one she's had since she was 3, though if anyone asked, she was going to say it was part of some elaborate metaphor), two stick people holding hands, representing her and Sawyer, a book (she liked to read), a notebook (representing the one that she brought everywhere with her, in case she had to make some 'anthropological observations'), and her representation of anthropology (a group of stick people talking while she sat off to the side, taking notes).

The backing was similar, but without the adornments. It simply consisted of the neon striping.

The book itself (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/872743.html?thread=41267751#t41267751) consisted of several sheets of coloured paper, all attached (with the cover and backing) with gold ribbon, which had been strung through the holes she punched in the left side.

On the coloured pages were pictures (of various places (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/889347.html?thread=43734019#t43734019) around the school and town - The Perk had never been photographed so beautifully, in her opinion, as well as pictures of her friends (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/898056.html?thread=44720904#t44720904).

Each page also consisted of the descriptions (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/881721.html?thread=42242361#t42242361) of the pictures. Some were rather long-winded, especially when she had a particularly complex anecdote to relate, and others consisted of only a few words. The picture pages were interspersed with pages consisting entirely of writing, detailing some of the events that had taken place this summer. This was expected, of course, because Tempe was a highly prolific writer.

Each page was also dusted lightly with rainbowy glitter, giving the page a slightly iridescent effect when turning it.

Nothing was too overly gawdy or tacky, and all in all, Tempe was quite proud of her book. It had taken a lot of time and effort, but it would certainly be something she'd keep forever.

In case you need to talk to the Big Blue Dean of Justice!

"After reviewing the scrapbooks, one stands out as the mightiest example of scrapbooking prowess I've seen so far this summer! The competition was fierce, but this was the clear winner! And the winner is..."

[OOC: Winner and the prize to be announced probably tomorrow morning. The winner shall get a link to this thread in a comment to their display.]

*starts working on ideas for next session's class*
