1. General: Cooperative arrangement in which two or more parties (which may or may not have any previous relationship) work jointly towards a common goal.<br />
<br />
2. Knowledge management (KM): Effective method of transferring 'know how' among individuals, therefore critical to creating and sustaining a competitive advantage. Collaboration is a key tenet of KM.<br />
<br />
3. Negotiations: Conflict resolution strategy that uses both assertiveness and cooperation to seek solutions advantageous to all parties. It succeeds usually where the participants' goals are compatible, and the interaction among them is important in attaining those goals.<br />

<br />
YOU must be a signed up member to this group - see the side bar - get it done<br />
<br />
Here is how this artwork will be produced:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>I will</b><br />
<br />
<br />
1. make a small journal for everybody who is collaborating and I will provide a list of these rules and a mailing list for the journal.<br />
<br />
<br />
2 . mail a journal out to each person.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>You will</b><br />
<br />
<br />
3. Work on EVERY page in the journal and mail it onward after 4 weeks. Confirming receipt and postage for each rotation. You will use cheapest mailing method at your disposal - if something goes missing we will replace it, we will not die in a ditch over it...<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>THEN: </b><br />
<br />
<br />
5. During rotations - There will be NO WINGEING about YOUR postage cost. Mostly because I bear the brunt of the cost of this project, and your contribution is minimal. <br />
<br />
<br />
6. Each journal will contain a hard copy mailing list FOR THAT JOURNAL - and prompts should you want them. PLEASE MAKE SURE these are always kept with their respective journal. <br />
<br />
<br />
Once all the journals are returned to me I will make sure they are 'finished'. Mr G will do a video 'prize' draw to determine who gets which finished journal. I will then (registered) mail it out to you. Covered in glorious mail art. (Please confirm your receipt). <br />
<br />
<br />
This opportunity is for 5 - 10 participants, it will close and commence when we reach critical mass. I will need four weeks to make and mail out your journal so you will have a six weeks heads up at LEAST before you actually need to do anything. If we are oversubscribed I will run a second 'round' that will follow on after the first batch.<br />

A while ago you may you remember that I was part of the Collaborart group and we created some amazing work together, collaboratively, it was the brain child of Sarah and after the initial flourish fell into sporadic postings. Sarah took the difficult decision of mothballing the outfit as an interim measure until recently, when she asked those of us still in contact through facebook to do another project as a one off. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
We had a discussion about what we could do and I put forward the idea of a Tunnel book, so we were split into two groups and asked to get outselves a children's board book, cut the 'tunnel' through the book, do our first page and send through the group.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Mine has recently returned and I'm so pleased with it that I decided it warranted a full blog post. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
My subject - Alice in Wonderland - not a very original idea as Alice in Wonderland and tunnel books are a well known mixture, but it is one of my favourites - so I couldn't resist! Here is my book in it's entirety! </div>

The amazing part of seeing the book again, reminds me that it's been quite a journey started in 2012 -I believe as there are a few Olympic references in the book!

As you can see from the various example pictures on this post - and a quick google will serve up many more - tunnel books come in all shapes and sizes and styles and themes.<br />
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The common trait is that the cover, and subsequent interior pages, have holes cut out of them, and generally these holes get smaller as you approach the back of the book, so that when the book is closed you can see a little of every page.</div>

You can either use an existing, bound book as a base for your tunnel book - childrens board books are perfect for this as the pages are so sturdy...... or you can use loose pages, binding them together at the end of the process using an accordion style edging (see the woodland short stories book top right or the final example picture below)<br />
<br />
In month 1, each participant should prepare their book (with a cover and at least three interior pages), decorate the front cover and optionally a page or two, and decide upon a theme for the book.<br />
<br />

<br />
Subsequent recipients of the book should work on one page each.<br />
<br />
<br />
As far as style / media - from these examples I'd say almost anything goes! Collage, papercutting, illustration, mixed media, have at it! :)<br />
<br />
Just be careful cutting those holes out, I don't want to hear of any nasty Xacto incidents!<br />
<br />
Please let me know on here or in the Facebook group if you have any questions that I haven't covered off....<br />

So here it is - the end of the Stay-At-Home CJ!<br />
<br />
And, sadly, I think it's the end of this blog too - the initial enthusiasm for collaborative projects seems to have waned, to the extent that for the full nine months that this last project has been in play, there haven't been any more started or suggested .... so I think it is time we called it a day. It was fun while it lasted though guys, thanks for playing along!! :) <br />
<br />
I'll leave the blog up so we don't lose the record of the old projects, I think you'll all agree that between us we created a lot of pretty :)<br />
<br />
So, anyway, yes, this month we all worked on Katie's lovely background ^ up there - and her theme was Cogs and Wheels and Rust<br />
<br />
Here's what everyone came up with:<br />

I was surprised how 'effective' it was. Then I found out some cog stamps and adhered the rust effect dies and used the cog stamps to create the finished product. I'm eager to see what everyone else does with this fab background this month and have a sneaky feeling theirs will be an awful lot more inventive than mine.

Having been one of those kids that was told at school I couldn't draw it's lovely to be able to get inky and messy and call it art (even if others might not LOL). I first got back into art at the time I got married in 1998 and as part of that we had a Celtic theme running through the same, including a knot designed by hubby, this knot has continued to resonate through our lives and so I thought it would be apt to utilise it on my page. I also like the fact that this knot as per many traditional knots has no beginning and no end and therefore feel returning to creativity and art is like coming full circle on somewhere I've been before. Initially I toned down the background with a light gesso, then I used a 'cell' mask and some distress inks on top before finally painting on our Celtic knot which I subsequently edged in silver. I finished the page off with distress inks and a grungy border stamp"</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">by Sami - "I had done a very delicate drawing of a mermaid in black fineliner and she had words from a poem in her tail. I painted it using Dyan Reaveley paints and managed to capture some of the luminance of the light sparking under the water. Then I decided to give it a little spritz with some white ink spray to highlight the sunlit areas and messed it up totally! The white ink came out and covered everything and I tried to mop it up but to no avail. It washed out everything and no amount of rubbing would bring it back. The only pen that would work over the top of the ink was a posca paint pen so my delicate drawing now resembles a cartoon! I couldn't get the colours to work properly over the white ink either so this is now my end result. Not quite how I intended it to look but ce le vie!!!!"</td></tr>

The start of another month can only mean one thing - it's time for the Stay At Home CJ reveal post!<br />
<br />
This month we had a challenging theme from Pam - Innocence and Experience. And an equally tricky background to work with. Thanks to Pam for giving us something to really get our teeth into! :)<br />
<br />
Only eight entries this month as sadly GlitteryKatie is currently rather poorly - get well soon Katie!<br />
<br />
First up, Pam's own take on her own theme:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pam - "I based it on one of William Blake's drawings and took the 'experience' bit rather than the 'innocence'- my background was always meant for this :) hence using the old cheque and the old book page - I added the clock and the text of one of Blake's poems - it is from 'London' and was a quote i used as the title of one of my dissertations and still rings true in the work I do. Blake was a crazy old coot but a decent poet and a good artist of slightly wacky and scary pictures. I've used inks, masks, pencil , pen and spray colours with gold tempura on the clock."</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Virginia - "Knowing that the original idea was because of a William Blake poem made me think about other pieces of literature and statements that I liked. In particular this quote came to mind, when we lived in Stafford we actually had this statement painted up on the main living room wall, I think it says perfectly what I wanted it to say. As a child you have so many dreams, hopes and aspirations for when you are older that you see the world through different eyes - innocence. As an adult you learn that sometimes life doesn't quite go according to plan and as such a lot of childhood dreams are not realised in adulthood - experience. This statement reminds us, that there is nothing wrong with retaining those dreams even if they don't always come to fruition and I like to think that there is a part of the world we cannot see, hear or feel where our dreams are lived out, if only we could tap into it. The original background that Pam created was beautiful, but it was also very bold so my first task was to tone down the background with a thin layer of gesso. I then tore parts of an atlas onto the page as I feel that the quotation links back to maps and backed that off again with white gesso. I then played with finger painting, a little white, turquoise and blue combined to start bringing the piece together. I had an A-Z of the Celtic alphabet to hand and copied it by eye with pencil and then with promarker and fine liner pens onto the page. I ran a turquoise ink around the edge of the page. I then used some Bo Bunny stamps and distress inks to stamp the hexagons both solid and hollow and the chequer board and the word believe. Finally I stamped the heart image which was a gift from Carmen an absolute age ago and is one of my favourite stamps onto tissue and then adhered it to the top of the piece, I used perfect pearls to highlight the heart in a red metallic and again for the crown in gold perfect pearls, so although you can't see from the picture they are both metallic. Finally I added a few ink splats to the page! A fab background and theme to work to, thank you Pam, I really enjoyed playing!"</td></tr>

Thank you Pam for a gorgeous background and (VERY) challenging theme to play with!" ..... and I know that I (Sarah) shouldn't be playing favourites, and I do love EVERY entry this month - but wow this one leaves me gobsmacked, I LOVE it Carmen!!</td></tr>

The God and Goddess are both reaching sexual maturity and on Beltaine they come together to consummate their love for each other and to ensure the fertility of the earth and the return of the summer. Without this union the crops would not be fruitful and the season would not move forward. The earth is experienced in this cycle of fertility, renewal and rebirth but the God and Goddess come innocent to this rite. I used an original pen and ink drawing I did and a poem I wrote back in 2011. I printed these onto deli paper so that when they were pasted onto the page the original images would still show through. I highlighted areas with neo water colour crayons, stencils and chalk ink, washi tape and white and black paint pens."</td></tr>

We've all been desperately cultured this month - more of a shock to the system for some of us than others! - as we tackled Virginia's lovely background and her theme of "Shakespeare"<br />
<br />
Once again, it's fantastic to see everyone's unique take on the theme, even where some of us chose the same play, our interpretations are very different<br />
<br />
In no particular order (and unfortunately missing Katie's entry for the time being, but this will be added in later), here are the January pages:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Carmen : "Call me an uncouth philistine but I didn't realise the Double double quote was from Shakespeare - so was chuffed to bits when I googled Shakespeare and that popped up! I knew I wanted to do a skull but didn't want to go down the obvious Yorrick route. And adding that text makes me think of a page from a spell book. I cut and collaged the skull from an old book page. He's highlighted with oil pastels and Posca pen. The text is Posca pen, written three times because I remember somewhere that being a magic number. Thank you to 6 year old Ruby for insisting, quite loudly over my shoulder, that I add the red to his eyes to make him look eviiiiil. I think it finishes him off perfectly and makes me think of Bob in the Dresden Files. I have to thank Virginia for her gorgeous background and interesting theme. I always thought Shakespeare wasn't for me but after all this research I actually want to read some... or at least watch a couple of films to ease me in!"</td></tr>

Another month, another wonderfully varied gallery of entries in the Stay At Home CJ..... This time we were all working on this fantastically detailed background from Pat:<br />

Her theme was Steampunk, and this is what everyone came up with (in no particular order):<br />

I tried to do the hair as cogs but that didn't work so well. I used texture paste to put another face and some squares onto the paper. I used a bicycle stamp on tissue paper (given to me by Lou!) to add another detail. I stamped lots of cogs everywhere to finish off and then used oil pastels and spray inks to deepen the original colour of the page.</td></tr>

I love the background, dragged out some steampunk scrapbook pages that I had and cut out the elements I had. Then started to place on the page for effect. After playing for a bit I started to stamp on the layout then to stick the paper elements down, trying to blend them in. For a few of the items I had to 'mask' the paper item and insert the stamping thereafter. I had great fun with this one! </td></tr>

But when I looked at the background I could just see this female zombie silhouette emerging from the page. The closer I looked, the more I could see all the elements, the torn book pages looked liked grave stones and there was even a moon in the background. I know Carmen loves Zombies so I thought, that's not a problem, do a zombie then. I got my pen and settled down on the sofa to draw and scared myself with what emerged! I would not like to meet her on a dark night! I used a black biro, a red biro, some white and black oil pastels and letter stamps with black ink."</td></tr>

<i>Robert Frost, and although not specifically about trees, it always reminds</i><br />
<i>me of the beauty of autumn.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
And that's that for this month - haven't we created a beautiful autumnal forest?!!<br />
<br />
It's so cool to see how differently (and in some cases similarly) we all riffed off the same background.<br />

Awesome stuff - thought I would share it, I love mail art - thank you Donna!<br />

This will be a photo heavy post, but wanted to say thank you to everyone who contributed and who added to previous art - it's a beautiful collaborative project. My only sadness in all of this is that Sarah's journal was lost in this process, hopefully the new Royal Mail proof CJ will prove not only fun but prevent this happening again! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There was a reason honest, firstly was the dilemma over which way some of the pieces went (I kid you not), one piece in particular worked well two different ways, we were confused, anyway eventually I decided that as it was my Exquisite Corpse then I would have it the way I wanted (despite protestations from said hubby and said 12 year old at the time).<br />
<br />
Then was the 'how to frame it dilemma' which caused weeks and weeks of soul searching as I really did want to show it off to it's fullest, so here we are with a final unveiling!<br />
<br />
Fanfare please...<br />
<br />
The roof section is Pam's, the next section down with the bright Gothic window is Katie's piece, the next piece down is Rebecca's and the bottom floor was mine,<br />

The last song remaining for <a href="http://freebird795.blogspot.co.uk/">Nigel</a> was Read Em and Weep by Meatloaf. The songs all have meaning for the individuals and I wanted this song to reflect the journaling Nigel supplied to go with the song.<br />
<br />
I started by gessoing the pages and then using texture paste and a brick wall stencil. I colour washed it with Granite Dylusions spray. The title was cut using the Cameo with SU paper.<br />
<br />

<br />
The entry itself was inspired by the line about the rooms all being empty so I found some room plans on the internet and some silhouettes of a man and woman. I embossed them with a Kasiercraft script stamp and then put them facing away from each other to reflect the song lyrics. I hope Nigel likes it.<br />
<br />

<br />
As this was the last stop there wasn't a lot to add to any of the other entries but I was inspired to add my Tim Holtz dancing lion to the entry about Radio Luxembourg. Virginia had added a wooden crown saying God Save the Queen and when I saw it the lion was the perfect accompaniment.<br />

Donna picked the tracks for each of us and I had a Webb Sisters track which I hadn't heard before, it's a beautiful song but ever so sad. This is how the journal arrived with me - isn't it gorgeous!<br />

And to Virginia's I added a red oil pastel 'aura' around the band on the front of her page:<br />

And also a little wooden gun on the envelope flap on the back, to go with their name:<br />

Th-th-that's all folks!<br />
<br />
I hope that <a href="http://collabor-art.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/open-royal-mail-proof-stay-at-home.html" target="_blank">our next CJ</a> will be as much fun - it's not too late to sign up for that one if you fancy it, there's one spot left....<br />
<br />
I'll be blogging again over the next day or two as I got some lovely mail art from Sonja on the Mail Art Trail this week, that I just need to take a photo off - until then, tara.....<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the page I did for Pam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had a choice of 2 and as I just so happened to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">have the sheet music for one of them - easy decision!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is 'Erborne Dich' from St Matthew's Passion by Bach.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I transferred a page of the music onto fabric</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and stitched it onto the backing circle of fabric.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I stitched various ribbons around the edge to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">represent the circle of thorns.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The image is another fabric image transfer,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">padded and stitched onto the music.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used some of Pam's ribbon to make a cross</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">edged with some distress ink.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's it for me - all the circle journal pages finished!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was really good to end on a fabric one as I'd started</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">my own on fabric too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've so enjoyed working on everyones journals,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and seeing all the different styles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm looking forward to getting my own one back now too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks Sarah for organising such a great collaborative project xx</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll be posting Pam's journal back to her tomorrow -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">by recorded delivery. </span></div>
