Welcome to 1st Floor Flat!
Based in the UK, I'm a digital and mixed-media artist, bookbinder and jeweller.
DIGITAL
I design blog makeovers: Blogger backgrounds, headers, buttons, blinkies, email links... fun toys to cutomise your blogs and make them beautiful .
Also eBay templates, Business Cards, Etsy headers and avatars.
Each design is unique: I never repeat a design - and I work with you to achieve the design of your dreams. I'll also incorporate your own artwork!
I also provide aftercare: help and advice, should you get stuck at any time.
MIXED MEDIA & BOOKBINDING
I'm also a collector of vintage paper and ephemera, which I make into unique art pieces.
My sketchbooks and journals are made with beautiful papers: Bockingford, Fabriano and other heavyweight paper that will take any amount of abuse. My keepsake albums use smooth, flexible papers that are perfect for mounting your photographs and ephemera.
I build all of these by hand, right from cutting up the greyboard (chipboard/Davey board) through to sewing the books and decorating the covers.
TUTORIALS
So you know the tutorials I offer here have been tried and tested (many, many times).
These downloadable ebooks are in .pdf format so that you can print out or view onscreen in the comfort of your own home.
With fully illustrated notes & my own photographs, hand-drawn diagrams and step-by-step instructions, my tutorials also include a gallery of finished images to help inspire you. Whether a beginner or more advanced, you will easily be able to make albums, journals scrapbooks... the list goes on. Fully customisable, make your book the size and shape YOU want!
I also undertake special commissions - just convo me.
I look forward to working with you!
London,
