5 out of 5 starsI am studying to be an archivist and have been learning about bookbinding. I want to try a variety of techniques, and this kit looked perfect...it is! It is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to make my book!

5 out of 5 starsAll items were in good condition and accounted for. The only thing is that I accidentally doubled my thread (like you do when you sew) when it came to bringing the signatures together. It’s easy enough to figure out you did something wrong once you start running out of thread though.

Ah...natural light. (artificial light makes my head hurt)

Measure once cut twice? That doesn't sound right.....

And cut and sew and press and turn and press and cut.....
Travel light, draw often
I think with my hands. My life is full of notes, doodles, lists, sketches, and plans. Like my father-in-law who can't talk if you hold his hands still, my thought process grinds to a halt if I can't use my hands. All my best thinking begins and ends on paper. Paper is not much help though, if I can't find a pen. Much of the time, until I made the first journal bandolier, I could NOT find a pen.
