Just a heads-up that the book club will “meet” to discuss the Big Bad Ass Book of Crafts on Sept 3rd. If you are one of the Flickr people (whoa, there’s already 20 of you), I will use whatever images you add to the group pool for mosaics on the blog page. Alternatively, you can also email me your pictures at craftydaisies(at)gmail(dot)com. If you can’t make that deadline, I’ll probably put together another mosaic to post later in the week; so don’t fret.

Also, if you already wrote a critique discussing the book, either post it as a discussion in the Flickr pool, or with your picture description, or email it to craftydaisies (at) gmail (dot) com. I will include your discussion in the main blog article. If it’s not done by the 3rd, you can always add it in the comment section.

Things that should be in your critique:
* Make one project out of the book that is due for the next book club meet-up
* Explain why you chose that project
* Discuss the clarity of the instructions, the layout of the book, the illustrations, other projects in the book, and whether you liked the book or not
* Suggest one book for the next book club

If you weren’t able to participate in this round, but have a book you’d like to suggest for discussion, please submit the title and author. If we have a clear majority for one book, we’ll discuss that. If there isn’t one specific preference, I will randomly select the book taking into consideration acquisition costs and availability.

Further, if you have any feedback regarding the administration of the book club, please let me know. This is our first round and any suggestions to improve this “gathering” are welcome.

By the way, thank you to Lisa of U-handbag for spreading the news about the Wordle, which created the cloud above.
