Unusual

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Today was an unusually hot day here.

It reached almost 90 degrees.  Is it April?

. . .

I worked on a bunch of different projects that needed to be finalized or started.

Multitasking does not work so well in the studio, but somehow multiple projects do.

. . .

New paper came in the mail, and I mostly worked on tearing it down to smaller sheets,

so that the 26″ X 40″ ream wasn’t taking up my entire studio.

Here are photos of some of it.

(basking in the sun, oh how I wish I could do that too!)

Also, I finally started working on some wedding guest books.

I’m very pleased with how they’re coming along, and how easy it will be to customize them.

. . .

Look for them in the shop soon!

and has 100 pages.

She really liked the look of this one,

So I made her a larger one

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.
