I'm often astonished at the sheer number and range of supplies, decisions and solutions that go into building a book!! I just measured and poked 1,128 holes into those pages, by the way. Hopefully they line up nicely when I sew them in!!!

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!
