Wood Book Cover from Hardwood Flooring
At the next Atlanta Book Arts Collective’s monthly meeting one of our members is teaching us how to make Coptic Endbands. The word went out that we needed boards. Picture a spinning top that has swirls of color – that was my mind. Never mind what the intent was – I heard boards. To me,…
TA DONE! Bird Watcher
A year ago this week I blogged about my foray into the longest yard sale, showing my “treasures” – go here to see why I chose to repurpose the wall pocket … Irene – Bird Watcher. One serendipitous moment led to another and my wall pocket was joined with Irene an amateur Bird Watcher. This…
Collapsible Box – Great Storage
This is a great container when traveling for a class. It folds flat so it doesn’t take up much room and assembles in seconds. It looks great when you take it out at class to hold your supplies while you work. A very long time ago my Mother’s best friend Muriel gave her a vintage Asian…

Leather Covered Slip Case for Antique Book
One of the reasons I was interested in Jana Pullman’s class was that I wanted to make a slip case for a 1966 Instrument Flying Handbook I found at a yard sale. I have reclaimed airplane seat leather I want to use as a cover. The leather is VERY thick and I was hoping for some…
My Week At Arrowmont
I’m exhausted! The good kind of exhausted. Every waking minute (there are NO televisions in the rooms) was spent making, observing and/or speaking with other artists about art – all kinds of art (and eating delicious meals). We learned a lot about historical leather bindings, leather and leather tooling from Jana Pullman. I was kinda hoping for…
Call me Pollyanna
26 students – making 4 journals in 2.5 hours was ambitious. Pamphlets (4 1/4′ X 5 1/2′) showing the students specifics of the journals they made – bound with hairbands from Dollar Tree (100 for $1) Monday was the first day of class. The 25 artists (we lost one – before the class started) began the first…
25 Students, 4 Journals, 2.5 Hours!
20 page pamphlet I put together of the 4 Journal Techniques being taught4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ I’m nothing if not optimistic. Here’s what happened. A few weeks ago the Administration of a community arts center asked one of our local book arts teachers if she would teach a one day journal making class the…
Shock and Awe – Library Sorter
About a month ago I began volunteering at my local library. Holy cow! I didn’t have a clue as to the amount of work and organization that took place at a library. It must have been a paper zoo when card catalogs were in use. Library – Box Label Sorter At any rate, in addition…
