So close to spring.
Monday, March 8th, 2010
Every time I set up to photograph a new collection of books, I strive for something different.
I try to think about what the collection means.
What objects will enhance, but not distract from the books?
For this last collection, The Willow Collection, I wanted something that connected to nature,
but also to the illustrated bookplates.
. . .
With the recent wind storm, and some neighbors pruning their trees in preparation for spring,
there were many branches down.
I decided to use these in my shoot, and added some much needed leaves.
. . .

. . .
. . .
I’m very pleased with how the photographs turned out.
With each additional photo shoot, I find myself more and more excited to see the results.
I think I’ve finally found a system that works well for showcasing my work,
and still giving the customers as much detail as possible.
. . .
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.
I’d love commentary or thoughts on this collection if you have any.

Happy March!
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
With the first few days of March behind us,
I can definitely admit to being antsy for spring.
This has been my first New England winter in a few years,
and it was tough getting used to the cold.
. . .
Today I worked on some more books for the Juniper Collection.
(Some seriously bright thread colors in anticipation of spring!)
. . .
. . .
Also, this last weekend Mark and I FINALLY did some more framing.
Our diplomas are up!
So is the rubbing Bobbi and I made
from the plaque in front of The Tree that Own Itself.

So I know this has already been all over the internet,
but I wanted to share it here because it seems so fitting for my aesthetic.
. . .
. . .
. . .
Oh the beauty of computers and books becoming one.
. . .
If only they had it in a 12″ version for my adorable computer.
Or maybe I’ll make my own.
hehe.

To Boldly Fold 2.0
Sunday, November 8th, 2009
Since I started up To Boldly Fold
as my blog just over a year ago,
there have been few changes
to the appearance.
. . .
Over the last week,
Mark and I
have been working on launching
ToBoldlyFold 2.0.
. . .
We’ve cleaned things up
and
made it more user friendly.
. . .
This new incarnation of my site
is now mainly focused
on To Boldly Fold
as my business.
. . .
Here we go!

Beautiful fall days.

My favorite season has arrived!
. . .
This year has been a bit different
from most.
Instead of long walk in the leaves,
I’ve been spending many hours
with buttons.
. . .
But I don’t mind.
The books are coming along,
and I couldn’t be happier.
. . .
Thought I’d share some buttons with you.
. . .
. . .
Since I’ve been spending
so much time
with them myself.
. . .
Happy fall!
. . .
We’re LIVE!

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind
of buying supplies
and getting my studio all set up.
. . .
- nipping press -
- flat file -
- a couple thousand sheets of paper -
. . .
and today
two cow skins came in the mail.
. . .
. . .
Also, I built a book cradle over the weekend.
. . .
. . .
Things are coming along quite well.
. . .
. . . . .
. . .
Also,
I have two amazing ladies to thank
for their constant support and inspiration.
. . .
The great
Casey Berry
&
Bobbi Pinkston
. . .
You two have made this insane dream
so much easier to achieve.
. . .
Missing you both so much.

Craigslist is my friend.
