My assistant, Olaf.

Here’s Olaf, my studio assistant, warming up washi paper. He won’t be at the Gallery Show tomorrow, but I sure will. Come by and see me!

Kitty FillUP

Here’s a new book that’ll be for sale this weekend at the Bobbe Gillis Gallery Holiday Market!

Where Is the 4th Bunny?

Another tape-bound book – really made for a purse. There are 3 bunnies on the front and a big number 4 on the back. I am currently looking for a fourth bunny to hide within the pages. This book is 2″ x 5.5″ and is great for little to-do lists. Will be for sale at my next event: the Peachtree Charter Middle School Fall Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 3rd.

Let Him Go Again

Another beautiful coptic journal with alternating blank and lined pages for writing and sketching. This book is 4.25″ x 11″ and will be for sale the first weekend in October (on the 3rd) at the Peachtree Charter Middle School Fall Harvest Festival. I’ll have a table there with other fun vendors.

I went to Peachtree High School back in the mid-80′s when I was a mohawk-sporting and sullen teenager. I would love for Anton’s high school experience to be more positive than mine was. So maybe this is the beginning? They’ve got a brand new building budding with creative energy, so I am hopeful.

The vintage paper came from a children’s book at Atlanta Vintage Books and the imported washi paper at the bottom is from Washi Accents.

Birds n Shoes

This sweet tall and skinny book will be coptic bound. Birds nests and eggs on the outside with some funky leather shoes on the inside I got from a vintage 1970′s shoe catalogue out in Houston. Major score! The little bit of brown linen flowered book cloth came from a shirt Doug stopped wearing years ago. I yanked it from the closet and have been offering it up in many sacrificial pieces to the Book Arts Gods. Sorry honey.

New Book

The Secret Belgian Binding in action. I made this book for Bess, owner of the Double B Ranch out in Kerville, Texas.

Lime

This hot zingy green little book makes me want to drink a shot of tequila with lime and salt. Mmmmmn.

Stack

This is the last of the series of photos I’ll post of the works I’ve got up for sale at Paper Affair. I love looking at all that stitching. Lots of color. Lots of love.
