Hello again friends,
Last year, I bought some incredibly gorgeous pins from Studio Todorovic and I simply couldn't bear to wear them, I did not want to damage or lose them. So I decided to put them up on my wall in a very special way. I took an old embroidery hoop and a lace doily that I found at a thrift shop, put it all together, and I ended up with this! I am quite pleased with the results
Also, you should check out the artist who made these pins. She can be found on etsy (of course!) and is a really interesting mixed media artist. I dig it. Sarah Ogren (sarahogren.etsy.com)
Thats all for today!

My first Tutorial....its book making time babies!
I was recently inspired while in Invermere at Black Star Studios (run by three wonderful ladies) to make books using my old offcuts from printmaking. I have a love of paper. Expensive paper. I printed everything on BFK Reeves, in a beautiful buttercream colour. But I could not bring myself to throw out the scraps that were left afterwards. So I saved them, knowing I would some day use them. That day is here. I am making journals and sketchbooks with this beautiful, fluffy, torn-edged paper I love so much. In the spirit of sharing, I have put together a tutorial. I am by no means an expert, some professional bookbinders would be aghast at the lack of precision in my work....but hey - its handmade!
Well, here we go, today is part one!
