I haven’t posted in a long time. I haven’t done any bookbinding since COVID. I thought it was because I was working from home in my studio but I set up a home office almost a year ago. I finally feel inspired and bought some new paper. I plan on making paste paper’s this weekend and will post pictures on Saturday.

My latest binding is finished.  The cover is woven with amazing homespun yarn from Mexico.

I finally finished my Peace journal. I used Chinese calligraphy paper for the pages which makes wonderfully transparent paste papers. It also makes a soft feeling text block so I decided I needed to make a cloth cover. I decorated it with lovely vintage buttons and other found items.
