Join me May 16th online for a meetup of the #MixedMediaCollageArtistsGuild where I'll be sharing a template showing how to make a matchbook accordion book!

Don't be daunted by the tininess! It only looks complicated because it's been completely collaged! A single staple is the entire binding for the whole book!

*Note: the registration page currently has the event on 5/9, I've only recently let them know the group changed the date! It's definitely happening on 5/16.

Time for #PortfolioDay! Though I have not had much time since becoming a parent, I am looking forward to restarting #bookbinding and #bookmaking this year. My latest project has been #handmade #vegan traveller's #notebooks. They are my design and I've enjoyed trying to improve them with each attempt.

I've attached a link below a post links to more projects I've posted here over the years!

Today (19 February) I’ll give a keynote lecture about “Tactical Publishing” during the Paper Bonds conference at CEFRES - Centre français de recherche en sciences sociales in Prague. Paper Bonds is about “how self-made books and non-commercial bookmaking practices can foster personal connections, shape identities and build communities across Europe and the Middle East”. Looking forward to listen to leading researchers Hélène Martinelli, Giedrė Šabasevičiūtė and Ali Al-Moussaoui.
