In addition to the workshops I announced at Brooklyn Mercantile in Park Slope, I have another workshop date confirmed and would love to have you join, if you’re interested in learning how to do some of the stitching and binding techniques I use.

New album covers all glued up with Japanese silkscreened papers - I love, love, love the green & red parasol pattern on the dark yellow!
A few of these new albums and journals are ready…just waiting to be photographed…and the rest will be finished up this week and next…just as fast as my fingers [...]
An amazing set of distractions

“I think my work has to do with a sense that we are attempting, all the time, to create a logical, rational path through the day. To the left and right there are an amazing set of distractions that we usually can’t afford to follow.”

Throwing off the light covers
September 23, 2008, 8:21 pm
While a lot of brides are still obviously crazy for June, I think October must be about to usurp June’s title for most popular wedding month…at least around here. Lately, I’ve been putting together custom guestbooks and albums just as quickly as my little fingers can sew, and I also just did a few [...]
Anchored to the Infinite
September 21, 2008, 10:14 pm
At long last, I’d like to share the most recent wedding project I finished. This project has been in the works for most of this year and was - at least in part - an experiment, and a trial run at many things I’m looking forward to doing an awful lot more of in [...]
Plugging away!
September 14, 2008, 9:59 pm
I’m getting a lot of things together these days; projects finished & printed, new designs together, new books together as I have time, and lots of custom guest book & album work. I keep asking Matt if I’m really allowed to do this for a living…so far, it turns out that I am!

Designing books
September 12, 2008, 3:07 pm
When you’re working away all week on the nuts and bolts of a huge range of projects, there’s not always so much time to stop and photograph the beautiful little parts that are kind of fascinating, unfortunately.
It’s been lovely to be sewing, gluing, cutting, and finishing up a massive batch of work, though. [...]
A peculiar grace
September 10, 2008, 8:22 pm
This week just might qualify as breathless. The good news is that the intense butterfly laps I seem to be solidly in the middle of are being done amidst lots and lots of gorgeous paper and verrrrry satisfying projects.
It’s possible that somewhere in the middle of all this, even, I [...]
Light is constant, we just turn over in it.
September 7, 2008, 9:26 pm
As you may have predicted, it’s been another busy weekend around here, yielding yet another stack of new journal covers, another set of books finished and starting to hit Etsy, lots of new cards, business cards, and fun ideas, and another week about to begin.
That characteristic autumn chill hasn’t exactly hit the air [...]
