rainy + cold = perfect day for making books!

the photo collection. I just love these images. I am not sure how/if they will be incorporated into the journals, but I like to have them around while I work and they are so great with my fabric scraps...


I am all about decorative stitching lately...(rose colored decorative end-bands below). not entirely functional (though I will argue that they strengthen the book structure overall) and incredibly time consuming...but lovely!
I will be heading off this coming weekend (road trip to Michigan to visit Dad and run around Detroit/Ann Arbor) until mid-July when I will begin a month long artist residency in rural Pennsylvania. That being said, I am going to try to spend every waking moment this week in my bookbinding studio (aka corner of my bedroom) because it is oh so hard to make books while driving cars and the residency will be all about drawing. 

Oh, and a side note: I finished the summer newsletter...all printed and ready for the post office bright and early Monday morning. Watch your mailboxes. And for anyone interested in receiving the seasonal newsletter, just send me a quick e-mail with your postal address. ( I love snail mail.)
