Up for a lunch break after doing a bunch of work in my studio, mostly putting away bookbinding stuff and clearing away another one of my workspaces. I also measured the wall for the IKEA 72" x 72" KALLAX unit I plan to buy later this month. It will fit and give me 25 additional cubbyholes for storing my out-of-control maker materials and equipment collection.

I'm hoping to clear off the last work surface, where I plan to install my new (harbor freight) belt sander. #IMakeStuff

I've started making small, 40 page, lined notebooks using various maps and charts as the covers. Each of these notebooks is 4 x 5 inches and I'll be selling them in packs three once I have enough inventory. They'll also go to the gallery where I sell my jewelry; the gallery manager has expressed an interest in handmade journals. First photo shows journal with aviation chart (not trimmed yet) and plastic coated street map for New York City (trimmed with rounded corners). #bookbinding #IMakeStuff
Here's the page where you can submit your boards for resharification. Enjoy!! visionbrd.app/submit #visionbrd #diptych #iMakeStuff
Working on some fun projects and can't wait to share. If you make stuff, please hit me with your links for resharification. Always happy to pass along links. We've gotta counteract the destruction in any small way we can. #iMakeStuff

Having fun with two projects at the moment. The first is a scrapgan using up all my bits of yarn. The 2nd is a shawly vest that is part gift, and part commission. #IMakeStuff #Crochet

I spent 8 million hours on youtube making 3 tiny, simple videos that would probably take someone else 8 minutes. I need a medal. Or a drink. Or a nap. My three #tarot / #oracle decks finally have a space there though.

I’m not a fan of youtube really, but it means people can see all 215 cards in my 3 decks. That’s a lot of cards. That’s a lot of artwork. 😳

I’d love a fancy cocktail please.

I can’t earn more than about $450 a month because I’m a welfare queen but there’s no law against trading art for USB cords or socks or an ipad or a new locking toolbox.
All my stuff is at knotworking.tumblr.com. I’ll of course be posting here. #embroidery #guitarstringart #knottedpearls #wirewrap #mandalas #IMakeStuff
