4 x 4 tip-in Faces

I believe your dates are reversed

what is a tip-in?

a tip-in is a way to turn art into a book. sometimes the tip-in page is created to inserted into an existing book. For this swap (and others to come - there is also another host that lists 4x4 tip-ins) the idea is to create and receive small pieces of art that you will then bind to become a unique book.

I'm glad someone asked the what is a tip in question! I've seen them listed and wondered. Now that I know, I think I'll give it a try!

Here's more info. (from the 4x4 Time thread)

twobluecrows 06/ 1/2007 # [delete] The origin of the word "tip-in" comes from old bookprinting where they couldn't print color pictures,and they had to be added in after the book was printed--they were usually glued in by one edge and that tip was attached to the edge of the pages, or "tipped in". Nowadays it refers to pages that are created separate to be added into an altered book, or a handbound art book. They can be any size or shape or medium(s) and often, as in a swap like this, they are sized and themed for a particular predetermined book.

squintgrad 06/ 4/2007 # [delete] thanks ChristineMM and twobluecrows for the specifics

perhaps my use of the term "tip-in" isn't in it's true form. My thoughts with this swap and others like it (there is also another host that lists 4x4 tip-ins) is to create a book from the tip-ins you receive.

Of course, if someone has a 4x4 book to use, all the better.
