Come follow along with me as I make a book a week and post them on Instagram! Each week I’ll post a drawn, painted, scribbled, printed, collaged, doodled, sewn on, altered book I’ve made the week before.

just drive or bye bye summer.

moment, moment, moment.
MOMENT(um) (or) just a moment, is the last book I made for the spring contemporary book binding class.

The second book made this semester was a structure invented and taught by our professor, Julie. It was fun because we started off by making a visual timeline based on any specific period of time in our lives, and we didn’t know what we were going to use it for. It was basically a long strip of art we created that we then went back and cut into panels to … Continue reading

9 months, 6 books
Full disclosure: any faithful readers might have noticed by now I am not a blogger. Posting every 8 or so months is probably not good practice by industry standards. Alas one must be honest and I just don’t have it in me to do anything daily, well except make things and eat.
