I love to create
Hi all,
My names Luke, I’m from Birmingham and Binding Blue is my release for creativity.
From a young age I have always enjoyed creating things, imagining something and finding ways to bring those ideas to life. It started with pens, paper and play dough and as I got older evolved into wood, stone and almost every material imaginable.
When I started my adult life time and 9-5 work got in the way of being creative, but the passion never diminished. I put all of my creativity into decorating my house and DIY home projects. I struggled to find the things I wanted in shops or just simply couldn’t afford them, so this meant I had to figure out how to make them myself. Once my house was complete I took the skills I had learnt and put them into my hobbies.
I started to take my old paperback books and transformed them into hard back leather bound copies. Whilst learning how to improve I stumbled across laser engravers and took the plunge to buy one. This then lead onto a new outlet for my creativity and quickly became a new passion.
Whilst I loved creating things with my laser I quickly realised my budget and desire to make things wasn’t quite on the same level. So to keep me creating I starting selling my work to friends and family, this gave me the confidence in my creations to offer them out to other people. And that’s how BindingBlue was created.
Well technically the name comes from me starting out with book binding and the particular laser I use has a blue beam. This resulted in BindingBlue 🤗 .
I am lucky enough now to have a very flexible job. This means I can put more time into BindingBlue and I can’t wait to see how it grows.
I hope you like my little creations.
