Peg People Forever & "March" meeting date

Thanks to hostess Pam A, and all the SANEsters who brought peggy and/or people supplies; several colonies of pegfolk were born this night, and as the ranks of pegfolk grow to dominate the earth, may they have kind thoughts about us squishy types who gave them their start. Amen. Remember what they say about Weebles. Something to do with warbling, so keep them in a soundproof chamber. And who are "they," anyway?

We're on to March, and the planning of our March meeting, which will be on Tuesday, March 40th, aka April 9th. At this rate, we'll be eating Winter Solstice dinner at our August meeting!

What shall we do for a project on March 40th/April 9th?

1) Leslie has foundd a book about books, and what to do with them beside read them: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Art-Transform-Decorations-Stationary/dp/1908170921/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362700426&sr=8-1&keywords=Art+books+by+Claire+youngs

2) Previously proffered paper people: http://www.malinkoort.se/paperpeople.html

3) colored paper weaves: http://www.minieco.co.uk/geeky-weaves/

4) Jane Davies' postcard project: file:///Users/rlblewett/Documents/SANE/%20projects/%20%20possible%20new%20projects/LB%20-%20collage%20journeys.webarchive

5) screen/strainer faces: http://www.isaac.alg-a.org/Cement-bleak#IMG/jpg/DSC08037.jpg

Or any of the 874 other projects we've done once or twice already.

Or something new. What's your pleasure?

We have some time to finger this out!

SANE Meets yet again, Tues, Feb 26

SANEsters,

Well, for the umpteenth time SANE will set a new record for the most meetings ever in the history of the group. We'll need a place to meet, so expect another missal with location information 

On this record-setting occasion, we will be creating peggity people out of random miscellanous shapes of wood and glue, with a smidge of paint. A flurry of email activity in the recent week means that a passel of pegs & wooden shapey things were acquired after significant effort and thought and phone minutes were expended. Do we have glue? Paint? Dowels to use as centers? Small wooden clothing, hats, shoes, hobnail boots, jodhpurs, props (cell phones, lapel flowers, garters, spats, handkerchiefs, shoulder holsters, handguns, handcuffs, Zippo lighters, poker chips etc.)? Perhaps I'm overthinking this...

Bring fast-drying paints and a variety of smallish paintbrushes. Appliques? Stickers? Decals?

And remember, Weebles Wobble but They Don't Come Unglued.

Calendar madness

Bitly suggests: How about a "Story in 6 words" calendar?

ArrBee says we could combine: 6 words that relate to month and also use the letters of the month in order, such as:
JoAn opeNed her fUnky cAlendaR todaY (<- six words, start of calendar = Januberry)

SANE Meeting: 29 Jan 2013 ??

I tried to discern a concensus (and got a nasty rug-burn), and propose our next meeting to be Jan 29, 2013, whereupon we will not only scrim but also shaw at piano keys and/or ivory piano-key veneer using pokey things and then ink them, at a place to be determined (Pam A's or elsewhere if the ink/residue is likely to be too messful). If this is not agreeable 2 youse, signify by writing back and proposing a counterproposal (and include a rose).

In the meanwhilst, in your copulous free time, please make up new month names, per our previous calendar, and I might rustle up the energy to put another calendar together. Until then, enJoin bANdits and gUArds to cRY* will not yet exist and we will wander aimlessly through 2013. Depending upon the number/quality/timeliness of responses received, I will offer choices up for a vote or just pick the outstanding suggestions myself or ignore it for another time.

Leslie proposes two other projects (for subsequent meetings):
1) Little people: inspired by Mary Mac's little wooden people, we could collect wood scraps and paste/paint us up a crowd.
2) Summarize life in just Six Words: see http://www.sixwordstories.net/category/subject/funny/
 This appears to be quite addictive.
  I can't stop stopping at six.
  I came, saw, conquered. 'Nuff said.

Or we could carve six-word valentines in piano-key ivory and send them to the veterans.
