Welcome
Sunday, August 16th, 2009
I’d like to introduce the newest (and greatest) addition to my life:
A beautiful cast iron 10″ X 13″ nipping press.
(which I bought for $25. eek!)
Thesis Work
Saturday, May 9th, 2009
Sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve bee very busy with my thesis work, and it’s finally finished! I’ve been working on a project called one thousand books. I made a thousand handmade books with photographs of the proceess to accompany them. Part of the process involves the viewer taking the book, so hopefully by the end of the show, it will no longer exist! They’ll be installed next week for my commencement show, and I’m very excited!
Here are some installation views from my final critique.
More updates once the show is installed!
Have you heard: Yulia Bridskaya

If you haven’t experienced the work of Yulia Bridskaya, then you are missing out! A Russian born, London based Illustrator and Graphic Designer, Yulia’s work is truly inspiring.
Enjoy!
Have you taken the handmade pledge?
Monday, January 19th, 2009
I have!
The pledge: I pledge to buy handmade for myself and my loved ones, and request that others do the same for me.
The website: http://www.buyhandmade.org/
I believe that the idea of a handmade life is a great one. I think that handmade brings an intimacy between the buyer and creator that cannot be achieved with mass produced items. I’m excited for this new year and can’t wait to get my new etsy shop filled with books and other great things!
Happy making my friends!
