The Story of Blue Beard by Charles Perrault

This is a letter octavo book hand foiled in silver, gold, and red. The story & images all came from Project Gutenberg. Typeset created by me. Cover design by me.

I will be selling these at The Obscure Distillery’s Summer Solstice Night Market in Los Angeles on June 16th. Come by and check it out!

Join me online this Saturday, May 16th at 10AM Pacific for a meetup of the #MixedMediaCollageArtistsGuild

I'll be sharing how to make a matchbook accordion book to use as a tiny journal!

Don't be daunted by the tiny size! A single staple is the entire binding for the whole book!

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.
