As you might have gathered, since I transitioned into binding and printing full time in August, it’s been a busy several months and, frankly, it’s all been pretty manic.
I’m challenging myself to do as much as I can, as well as I can, and to constantly learn about and use new materials, techniques, [...]

The Wind, The Sun, and The Moon
January 14, 2009, 7:12 pm
It’s kind of nonstop around here and, though I’m surrounded by piles of paper, bookcloth, wool, leather, and drying covers, it’s starting to feel just the teensiest bit organized, too!
For the last few weeks, my days have been spent going back and forth between wedding invitation printing and working away on a new [...]
Chiyogami!

On a totally non-holiday note, I found out about the The Paper Place’s huge Chiyogami giveaway by way of a couple of blogs I read on a regular basis and figured it would only be right to share!
Black and white album, blue burst on chocolate journal, green and yellow striped journal

Cockeyed with gratitude

A little weekend recap…because it’s always busy around here, and Sunday night just seems like a good time to catch our breath, size up the progress, and take a deep breath for the busy week ahead.

A few weeks ago I splurged on 2 beautiful sheets of elegant, fun, and intricately patterned Japanese paper at Kinokuniya, across from Bryant Park, and am looking forward to finally getting a few new books made with covers from them.
And there are, of course, lots of books and custom portfolio projects in the [...]

March 11, 2008, 7:05 pm
Ah, the trials and tribulations of loving letterpress printing, doing letterpress printing, yet not actually owning one’s own press yet. Gah! I know I’m getting there little by little and that I shouldn’t let my impatience get the best of me but, as my mom would say, “Ye gods!”
I’ve got a set of [...]
A few new journals, and letterpressing soon!
February 2, 2008, 11:46 am
I’m hoping to get in to do some letterpress work tomorrow, after not quite getting all my materials together in time for today (being sick for a couple of days really took me out of commission!), but am getting myself organized today and put up a few new small journals on Etsy this morning. [...]
Work, workshops and, well, new work!
January 24, 2008, 10:39 pm
It’s true. I have to face it. I’ve become a machine! These days, if any paper-related project flies across my radar, however briefly, I latch onto it and run as fast as I can! I’ve been cranking out new albums, journals and ideas as fast as I can make notes [...]
