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!

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.
