New Sketchbook!

Monday, January 11th, 2010

This morning I worked on

a new sketchbook for Mark

since he only has a few empty pages left

in the last sketchbook that I made him.

. . .

It’s always fun picking out paper and book cloth

for these types of projects,

and it makes for a nice change of pace.

. . .

Here are some images of the finished book.

The endpapers are a gorgeous yellow patterned paper

that I recently ordered

from Smock.

They do some beautiful work.

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.
