 * //May-6-2009//** Today we make the screen, and tore up paper so we can try and make some paper on Friday.

media type="file" key="Documentation May 13.wmv" media type="file" key="Documentation - May 15.wmv" __**5-22-09**__ today was the last day we make paper. alison made three sheets of "green" paper.these were thicker than the other paper and it is going to be used as a cover sheet for our book.media type="file" key="VID00034.AVI"
 * //May-8-2009//** Today we tried to make paper, unfortunetly our food prosesor had a leak so we couldn't make the paper paste. I am bringing a blender for Monday so we can get some paper made.[[image:IMG_0004.JPG width="220" height="165" caption="The Paper that we put into the Food Processor."]]
 * //May-11-2009//** (SARAH WAS NOT HERE TO DOCUMENT) Alison is not here, and didnt bring in the blender so we cant start yet. im alone today. today i looked for the web site alison was useing as an instruction guild and i could not find it.
 * May-12-2009** We actually made paper today! It's quite colorful. We discovered that we need more mugs, though, to heat our water in, because other containers lose the heat in seconds.
 * //May-13-2009//** We made more paper today. We took video of our process of making the paper, above. Nick and I both learned how to make it today, so that if Allison is absent, we'll still know what to do, because obviously that was a problem for Nick before. It probably would have been better if we had just tested the first blender outlet we tried instead of dumping out all our paper pulp first, because it was a problem! (video is above this)
 * //May-15-2009//** Today is one of our last paper-making days in keeping with our schedule. Most of our other sheets of paper were dry today, and we learned something important: The thinner the paper gloop mixture is, the more flexible the paper is. Some of our paper is like fragile cardboard! We had thought the opposite would be true. Today we're going to experiment with different thicknesses. We may need to extend our paper-making days. We only made two sheets today, which means it was kind of an off-day for us. Below is an explanation of the paper thicknesses and the problems we had with them.
 * __5-18-09__** my post from this day was deleted or never finished posting.
 * __5-20-09__** today was sarahs turn to make paper. we met with Mr. Mccloud and he tried to help us. alison and sarah started arguing again. we are making green paper for our cover to the book.for some reason the videos wont work.


 * __5/26/09__** Today we folded our paper in half in groups of 2 pages. We made 3 nicks along the spine of each 'book" and coverd it with fabric. We also painted our book covers.media type="file" key="e3g1.mp3"
 * __5/27/09__** Today we worked on our cover pages. We added 3 strips of cloth to the two cover pages to connect them, We will stitch the pages of the book too the cover pages and add a strip of cloth over the spine We anpticipated a larger book, but we had to cut more edge off the book then we origanlly thought. Today Sarah was abset so she didn't bring the decals for the page corners and cover of the book. Nick and I looked at images that we may want to glue or trace on to the corners of the book.[[image:IMG_1765.jpg width="225" height="300" caption="The cover pages and book pages."]]

__**5/29/09**__ Today we stitched the book pages into the book cover and glued the page closest to the front cover to the front cover and the page closest to the back cover to the back cover. We also cut the fabric we are going to use on the binding. We folded the edges and glued them in place. Sarah was out again today so I am going o look for stickers for us to use on the page edges in case she has not come back by then. Our next step s to glue the fabric on the binding.zz


 * __6/1/09__** Today all we did was glue the fabric to the spine of the book. Kind of self-explanatory. We had a picture for this, but somehow it was replaced by another group's, so we don't have it anymore. I kind of think we should have dyed the fabric to match the cover itself, but we ran out of time. I also think we should have tried to make less of a mess with it, because with all of the glue we used, there might be "glue lumps" under the fabric when it dries.

I think when we were embellishing, we should have taken time to plan out what we did, because all of our embellishments look sort of haphazard, like we slapped them on as an afterthought (which is true). If we did this again, we probably would plan out EVERYTHING a bit better, from stickers to the size of the book. Power Point:
 * __6/3/09__** Today all we did was add some "embellishments" to the book. See picture below. We originally had more stickers, funny stickers, but together decided that would make for something just a smidge too weird. However, we decided to decorate the cover with fantasy-related images (though I'm not sure why), and it does look good. We discovered today that for some reason, a large amount of our documentation images had been replaced with another group's. We don't know how, but we no longer have those images, so we can't replace them.
