My portable watercolour sketchbooks are bound in a soft cover made of upcycled leather. Their pages are off white 190gsm Saunders Waterford 100% cotton paper produced by St. Cuthberts Mill in the UK. The books have torn edges with an occasional watermark visible in some pages. Each book in this series has an antiqued metal ring on its back so they can be attached to a cord and connected together or used as a pendant.

My first three block prints turned into notebooks.
I made plain prints and cards too, but I’m happiest with these.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to DO with all of these as I'm not sure i could handle selling in any way. but I'm having fun and I'm not going to let that get in the way.

“Ever seen a bindery sparkle like neon on wet asphalt? ⚡✨ Neither had we… until Thor declared it cleaning day.

Now BOOKFORGE is stitched, stacked, and ready to flex.

Hit play and let 25 seconds of raw brilliance slap you across the scroll.”

"Make them stop mid-scroll — Thor insists.”

Front cover of the book is the English title of the book foiled in gold. Around it are Bible verses in Cantonese Chinese (Genesis 11:8-9) foiled in silver.

The back of the book is a mirror of the front. It has the Cantonese title foiled in gold. Around it is the English translation of the same bible verses.
